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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
