So close...congratulations on your decision I'm sure it has been a long wait! So does MCG have any affiliation with Fort Gordon Military Treatment Facility and their WLS program?

Very close! 6 long agonizing months!! I would assume they do, I see alot of soldiers coming through for clinicals. I will definitely ask tomorrow when I go to work.

Any information would be fantastic! :) I'm finding it so hard to get information and it makes the journey to VSG so frustrating. You're the best!

MCG has no affiliation with the Fort Gordon Military Treatment Facility and their WLS program because they both have their own program. MCG does accommodate when births because they don't have a maternity ward. I will try to ask around and see if anybody has heard anything about their program.

Congratulations!!! Wow May 1st just a few days away. How long did it take you from the informational meeting to getting your surgery date? I'm ready yesterday, so the longer I wait the more agonizing. I'm hoping I can get in on the next information session so I can get my journey started. Who is doing your surgery, Dr. Choi?

Thank you! Sorry for delayed response, busy the past few days preparing. I began my process in October going to the seminar. Since then, it's been a lot of testing - cardiologist, pulmonologist, X-rays, ultrasound, sleep test, egd, ugi, blood test and 5 months of monitored nutrition. Dr. Michael Edwards @ Georgia Health Sciences University. Best wishes to you!
