AtlantaRed replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My final appointment is supposed to be 5 hours. It is supposed to be a nutrition "class" where they discuss the postoo plan in more specifics and also final visit with the surgeon. Welcome to the thread! -
Anxiety Sufferers Pre and Post op
AtlantaRed replied to shannonk1676's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am preop but do have anxiety and also think too much! I don't know if losing weight in itself will help but I know losing weight will allow me to get back outdoors for a good hike on the weekend or exercising in general which greatly helps my anxiety. -
They are good for reducing pressure, just make sure to increase resistance to make it a good workout. I did not have pain at the time I used then at the Y, randomly, but found I got the least workout on it. I don't think the elliptical is as hard on the knees as a treadmill. There isn't any pounding and that is definitely a workout.

Between a rock and a hard place
AtlantaRed replied to Roo101769's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can also post on care.com for a childcare exchange where you offer to trade off childcare. Honestly, it will be hard to find someone if you are unable to pay. -
I'm hoping for the 4th or 5th! Would be neat to have the same date!

WLS Cover-up Story
AtlantaRed replied to Andrew0929's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've already had my gallbladder removed so I will be saying hiatal hernia repair. However, having had my gallbladder removed for over a year now, it would be safe to use that excuse and say as a result your having to eat a bland diet which in turn is causing weight loss and since you were unintentionally losing weight, you thought you'd make the mist if it and up your exercise! -
Titus Duncan in Atlanta
AtlantaRed replied to StawberryBlond's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
It also says that the price doesn't include anesthesia and aftercare. -
Georgia Self pay
AtlantaRed replied to StawberryBlond's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I'm using Dr. William Johnson out of Emory Johns Creek, Atlanta Bariatrics. $18,500 and includes 6 months of followup. He's more expensive than some others I've seen posted, but I feel very comfortable with him and like the Emory name attached to it. I've seen others post about Dr. Titus Duncan and I think he is less expensive. -
Stomach H. pylori bacteria
AtlantaRed replied to bashmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Found out I can go to Any Lab Test and get an H. pylori test without a doctor's orderas a walk-in for $92. So glad I don't have to wait another month to get checked! -
Yay, I passed my psych eval! All that's left is upper GI and ekg. Love crossing things off the list!
