Never heard of him....

I am seeing dr. Macik next week to discuss the removal of my band and getting sleeved. I will have to wait at least 6 weeks between surgeries, so hoping for early July removal and mid August sleeve....was going to consult with Emory j.c., but they won't make me an appt until they receive my operative notes from the lapband done at Emory midtown....

ratrita, sorry for a late response, but Dr. Richard did my sleeve. I LOVE HIM and absolutely LOVE the program. It has been really nice to be able to use the clothing closet and not have to spend a ton of money as I drop sizes. They are all very supportive in his office, too. I missed support group this month, but should be there in July...hope you are recovering nicely!

Hope everyone is doing great!

I feel the exact same way! I am on day 3 of my 10 day preop... its been hard but my driving force is that I know I will be better off. Good luck to you!

I'm in Canton, GA, and I'm having my surgery July 18th with Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Bariatrics (Emory Johns Creek). I think the whole program is great. I'm new to this site and want to read stories about the first day or two after surgery. Where do I go? Also, almost everyone seems to stay in the hospital for a day or two, and I'm supposed to go home the same day. Did anyone else go home the same day?

Hi folks. I was sleeved up in PA a year ago and moved to ATL for work recently. I live in Roswell and I'm looking for a good support group. What program has the best follow up care? I'm thinking I'd like to do follow up with a nutritionist every few months, and get/provide support in a group environment.

Thanks!

Jay

Hello Atlanta. I live in Marrietta and had my 1st consult with Dr. Hart. Anyone had experience with him? Extremely quiet.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
