Hey there,
Dr. Johnson also did my surgery. I had a band removal and hernia repair on 3/26/2018. I had some heartburn a few weeks after my surgery and they put me on some over the counter Prilosec. I would call the office if you have any concerns. Dr. Johnson's nurse, Emily is quick to get back with you.

Hi.! Congratulations!!!! How are you doing since surgery?? I’ll be having the sleeve on May 16th in Macon.

Hey there,
I had gastric bypass on March 26, 2018 and I'm from Middle GA. Had my surgery in Atlanta.

My choice for RNY was based on my research and its' success of treating diabetes. When I first had my consultation with my surgeon and he reviewed my medical records and we talked about my condition he also recommended the RNY.

Hey There,
I,m right there with you. I am 3 weeks removed from my surgery and I have been in a stall for a week. From what I read I think it's common. I've lost a total of 37lbs 25 of that was on my 2 week pre-op diet. My doctor told me after 3 weeks I could start exercising more. I think we just need to hang in there and stick with our plan and it will start back up.

I was expecting it to be much harder than it was. My recovery went well. I never experienced a lot of pain, I was uncomfortable at times, however I did take my pain meds every 4 hours. I figured it was best to stay on top of it instead of waiting until I was hurting to ask for it. They did have me up and walking every for hours, I think that helped a lot too. My biggest problem when I got home was trying to sleep on my side so I spent a few nights in my recliner. If I new I would get along as well as I have, I would have done this years ago. I know I'm just 3 weeks out but no regrets thus far. I hope all goes well with you.

Typical guy here but I am proud of that flatulence!

I'm a little over 2 weeks from my revision from band to RNY. I had my band for 16 years. I am amazed at how well I'm doing just 2 weeks out. I've lost 37 lbs., that includes my 2 week pre-op diet. I feel great! I wish I had done this much sooner. I had developed a hiatal hernia and I could not tolerate any Fluid in my band. That was also repaired in my surgery. Good luck on your journey.

Hi All, Starting my second week of my PRE-Op diet, have to say I'm in a much better place than I was this time last week. Those first 2 days were awful, on the second day I felt like I had the flu. Got home from work and went straight to bed. My surgery is next Monday March 26. I can't wait to get it over with. Hope everyone has a successful journey.

Great job Dennis! Having my surgery March 26. Hope I can have equal success 5 months out.

Hope everything goes well for you all. I start my pre-op diet next Monday 3/12 and surgery on 3/26.

I'm 52 scheduled to have my lap band to bypass revision on March 26. Hoping I can put my diabetes in remmission.
