Hi Ms.Pitts, I used the one they provided, Dr. Walfish. Who is your advocate? Charlene? I had to go off Tues and escalated my issues to the office manager. Let me know if you wanna chat live and I will send you my info via message. I have been very disappointed with this office over the past couple of months and would certainly not recommend them at this time to anyone.

I had Walfish. Did your insurance pay for it? I just noticed my insurance denied payment! So if I don't get them to pay I'm stuck paying him 600. His fee seems so high compared to what others say they pay.

No, its Latesse... She is lazy and doesnt follow up with you. I just recommended them to a friend of mine, but they will never go there now. How do you live chat?

Ha ha...girl I meant you could give me a call. I typically use my phone when im logged in so I don't have all functionality unless Im on the computer. Not even certain if there is a way to do live chat here.

On a separate note I think they are all lazy. My advocate would rarely call me back. Thank heavens at this juncture I don't think I need her anymore.

I think they are under staffed and need to add more folks.

Beauty and Ms. Pitts this wasnt my experience at all. I think the problem is too many people were trying to get surgeries in before the new year and their coverage changed. I know this because i had to change my 3rd follow up due to surgeries...... i hope you both have smooth transitions from this point forward

Shay, unfortunately the lameness (I know that's not a word...lol) started early in the process back in the summer. My advocate NEVER initiated contact and at times even if i left her messages ro give me a call it didn't happen.

I know only one other person who had a fantastic experience out of over 10 people I know personally. Not a good trend. Im hoping to get this over and done with in the next month or so as my confidence in this office has dwindled to a "cautiously optimistic"

Hi GAmom...yes my insurance covered the cost, but I wasn't certain it would at the time so I didn't fill out the credit card request form attached to the paperwork for just that reason. Wasn't trying to get billed for an undetermined cost! I think they should let you know the cost up front so you can compare and shop around.

FYI- Ms.Pitts.

Hi Sheree, I have not yet been sleeved however I am using Dr. Titus Duncan. I chose him as he is reportedly one of the best bariatric surgeons in Atlanta coupled with the fact I have relatives and friends whom have utilized his services.

NOW, LET ME SAY THIS! I have been fairly disappointed with his office staff. Plenty they can improve on! Hope this helps.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
