Hi -- I'm from N Ga too (Jasper) and Dr Champion banded me on 11/12 --I'm doing great post-op.

I really like his staff and Doctor Champion. I think you will like all of them. Let me know how things go...Good luck!

Hi Tessa , Dr Bagneto did my surgery, I also live in Albany. Have you been able to get insurance to pay? I had no luck and paid for it myself. Hope it works. Would love to talk with others from Albany for support.

Hi all. I'm from georgia also. I live in atlanta. Its right outside of atlanta by six flags. I just had surgery on the 12th. I doing ok but have some concerns. My port incision seems so big. Its like half the size of a tennis ball and I thought it would have went down by now. So I'm a little worried at this point, I too was self pay and went to mexico to have my surgery. It also bothers that incision when i'm sitting straight up. I kind of have to lean back and stretch out that side of my body for it to feel better. Any advice fellow Georgians?

ATL38, who is doing your surgery? I live in Lilburn. If you have any questions, ask away.

Good luck to all the newly banded, waiting to be banded or just getting started. It is all so worth it.

      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.

      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...
