I am not sure if you can go to any Dr for a fill but since you just moved here it should not be a problem. You can call my Dr who is at Northside hospital his name is Dr Daly his number is 404-252-0433. If his office can't help maybe they can tell you who can.

I'm in Dawsonville, I'm going to a seminar Wed, the 23rd.

How did it go? Which seminar did you attend? I had my surgery done by Dr. Steinberg in Decatur.:tongue2:

Hi All,

I am from Columbus. No lap band surgeons here...NO-I take that back. One just started practicing here-suppossedly he's being performing this procedure a little over a yr. I, personally, want a little more experience. I have just begun my journey but I will be going to Dr. Bagnato in Albany. I have hear GREAT things about him. Anyone else out there hear about him?

Hello all Ga. banders,

I too felt a little lonely not being able to identify with anyone from my area. I live in Valdosta, Ga. and I know very few people who have been banded or who’s getting band. My doctor is Kevin McCowan at Smith Northview Hospital. I will have my sleep study done this Sat and all my paper work will be turned into my insurance company. I have met all the requirements Cigna initial told me I was required to meet. I am praying to get an approval around the middle of June. I am glad to be able to chat with some local banders. Good luck to very one in their road to being banded or currently losing weight with their band.

I have been banded since sept 2010 and have lost 111lbs, although I have been losing and gaining the same 10lbs over and over again since Nov. Very frustrated! I just want to lose 40 more lbs!

I feel your pain!! I have 17 lbs to go until goal. I lost 10 of those lbs (wasn't easy!)...then gained that 10 lbs back (very easy!)...now still have those 17 lbs to go. I want to weigh what my driver's license says I weigh. So close! Gotta get there! We can do this!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
