I was going to go to Emory Bariatric Center but I am just not feeling the process and dont like feeling rushed or not being provided concise information...This is a life altering decision and until I get someone that makes me comfortable with that, I will continue to search!!!!!

How did you have to start the process with them?

I went to Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Baractrics. I started at Emory as well last year and was doing the Optifast and their program was all over the place! So, I left.

To start the process, you have to attend a orientation meeting. At the orientation, they give you a wonderful packet that includes all the information you will need. The most important thing is the insurance page that list exactly what to ask them to find out what's coveted etc. They pretty much take care of everything - even making sure you schedule 2 or 3 appts in one day to save u time. You can email, fax, or have docs send papers to them ad you complete items and they put the packet together and send to your insurance.

I stArted by going to a seminar. Then they set me an appointment to meet with surgeon and then insurance coordinator. They put together a road map that tells you every thing you have to do!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
