Yum!

I had tilipia over the weekend with a baked potato and a little sour cream to make the potato mushier.

Delicious.

Hi all-

I just wanted to introduce myself. I probably need to lose 1/2 of my body weight and am thinking about the lap band. (Roux-en-y sounds too scary for me.) I'm so thrilled that I found this Georgian thread!

I'm in East Cobb/Marietta and really appreciate the doctor/facility information.

Hope everyone is well and has a great week!

Yep, I am back in Georgia. The flight was fine in and of itself but I got a little nauseous; luckily I had the anti-nausea tablets that dissolved under my tongue, so I was fine.

Hi Sick N Tired,

I was banded by Dr. Johnson with Atlanta Bariatrics. He practices out of Emory Johns Creek.

The hospital & office are excellent. I really like the whole staff.

Good luck, and take the 1st step - check it out (go to a seminar).

Thanks!

Ok. Girls I need your help. Here I am one week away from meeting with my surgeon Dr. Lin at Emory. I get a call today from his office saying that he will not be doing bands for awhile. :confused:Now they want to switch me to some new lady Jahnavi Srinivasan. She just recently finished her fellowship under Dr. Lin. I just don't trust anyone new. :)

Can you guys recommend a surgeon at Emory. I am in dire need of finding a great experienced surgeon.:confused2:

I would recommend my Dr., Scott Davis. He is at the same office as Dr. Lin. He is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. He looks rather young but has experience and has been teaching others because he always has someone coming in with him to watch and learn when I go in for my fills, and had interns watching during the surgery.

Although Dr Lin did my surgery, My initial visit was with Dr. Davis and he came highly recommended. Dr. Lin was awesome but Dr Davis would be my next choice at Emory.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
