Hey everyone-

I am looking for my fellow Georgia Sleevers. I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am going to be sleeved on January 20, 2011. I am so excited would like to start making friends with others in my area so see if we can get together/talk from time to time and be back up support for one another. So calling all. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I live in Covington, I had surgery on Sept 17 with dr charles procter at piedmont hospital Atlanta, it was a six month process as request of the insurance, I lost 16 the two weeks prior surgery, and 23 after three weeks for a total of 39 pounds in four weeks, still 77 more to go!

I live in Conyers and work in Covington. Awesome results!

Sleeved in LaGrange GA. 8/27/13. Dr. Wes Turton, West Georgia Health....6 weeks tomorrow and 44 pounds down. Great doctor and staff!

Kathie - any idea what his selfpay price is? I have heard good things about him.

I don't because Medicare paid for mine. But if you email his office they can tell you. They did everything for me. I did not talk to my ins once they did it all! They are great and Dr Turton is too! I had very little pain, no nausea, no drain. Here is their link http://wgbariatrics.com/about-us/meet-dr-turton Best of luck too you!

I'm sleeved yay

Congrats! I hope you are and continue to do well!

Well I used Peachtree Bariatrics for my surgery. Dr. Titus Duncan to be exact and let me say this, put in ur mind fat factory. Do not expect any proactively past your first couple of visits and post surgery if you call the answering service dont expect them to call you back at all. Lastly, I had surgery back in February and they not once called me for a follow up visit.

Beauty,

That is a shame about PB! I called just to ask some questions and I thought it was strange that the rep "was not in" and would call me later. I guess I just assumed anyone could tell me about price, etc. And, it took them a full week to call me back. Ridiculous!

Smh! Well check this out. If they tell you they are out again or they are on the phone, ask for the manager and I guarantee magically they will appear... I cant tell you how many times I had to do that. It just burns me up!

Listen, I have no doubt they are overworked but dont label them advocates if they wont advocate and get your arse off of tv if you dont have the manpower needed to sustain the business. At the end of the day they billed my insurance $50k just for the surgery! (And heck, I was in the surgery center for only 6 hours!)And although I know insurance reduces the amount they payout to the organization, I know they are making money hand over fist! Smh again!

So sorry to hear that, Dr. Wes Turton in Columbus GA. and his staff are wonderful! Before, during, and after! http://wgbariatrics.com/
