I was sleeved here in GA. I am in the North GA mountains. What is Sync mtn?

Stone moutain

Ok, I used to live in Conyers and grew up there. I am in Dawsonville now.

Katiepot, I'm in Roswell. If you would not mind sharing, who did your sleeve at Emory? Hansi, I'm going to call you soon. Meanwhile, back to katiepot, hansi recommended Paul macik. Do you know him? I know I am rambling here, but I am just so excited to find this forum and all of you!!! I am one more DeterminedGirl

Emory at midtown, but all pre open and post open visits are at main location (Clifton rd). Surgery is only done at midtown location. They took very good care of me

Greetings to all, I'm in Athens Ga, and I was just sleeved in Gainesville Ga, by Dr. Henderson. I would love to hook up with others maybe in the Atl area to go walking up stone mountain sometimes or any other hiking trips.

Hey GA Sleevers!

I am looking for a PCP that is supportive of WLS. I live in Marietta but work in Sandy Springs. Since I am going to Mexico for my sleeve, I wanted to get checked out and possibly get the same testing that are normally done here in the states prior to surgery.

Any help would be great.

I'm no expert on this, but I see Dr. Paul Macik at Northside. He's great. If he's not the doctor you're looking for, he'll know someone to recommend. Macik has space on this forum, or you can google him. Hope this helps!

Hi, I am in the last stages of the process to have surgery. In fact, my original date was Dec 5th however, I've hit snag after snag with CIGNA and PCP so don't know when it will be now. :o( I am going to have my surgery with Dr. Macik and wanted to ask if you are pleased with his work, your decision to have the surgery and the recovery period? Thanks!

I al so used Dr. Macik and love him to death! He is the BEST in GA. I am very happy with all of his work and he is well worth the wait. I hit snags also and almost gave up... DON'T. Your new life will be well worth all you have had to go through.

Hugs,

Hansi

Hansi, thank you so much! As I am waiting, my emotions and thoughts are running the gamut! I am trying to stay prayed up to help me through but reading stories here is helping also. I really liked Dr. Macik when I met him last month, I changed from Dr. Lin at the last moment because I'd initially wanted Macik but he wasn't on my insurance. I won't be giving up! :o) I started the process on Oct 13, 2011 and I now that the surgery is near, I am ecstatic!!! I have been frustrated enough to choke the crap out of the insurance folks given the opportunity but I will see this through! Thanks again, see you on the losers bench real soon!
