Docs in Atlanta Area???



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am just taking my first baby steps towards my new life :clap2: and I am looking for your recommendations for a doc in ATL. I am familiar somewhat with the big Emory group (C. Daniel Smith) but they do mostly RNY, and I want someone who specializes in LB.

TIA

Deanna

I am using Dr. William Johnson in Dr. Christopher Hart's office with Atlanta Bariatrics/ Johns Creek Surgery. They are a bariatric surgery center of excellence and operate both at Northside and soon at the new Emory Johns Creek. Dr. Johnson did his bariatric fellowship at Duke University.... I think you have to have a big brain to go there, and he seems very thorough, smart, and professional. I am only in the pre-op stage. Call their office for an initial consultation, and they'll get you on the road. 770-232-9252

Hi

I am in Gainesville, Georgia. I found a doctor here but I guess he may be too far for you all.

I am glad to have found people from Georgia. I have not had the procedure done. I am attending a seminar this coming saturday to start the process.

I live in Stockbridge and found Dr. Macik with the Atlanta Bariactric Center. This surgery center is a Center of Excellance for Bariactric Surgery. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
