Hello Everyone,

Location : LOGAN'S ROADHOUES

20 Mill Road

McDonough, Ga 30253

Phone number: 770-957-6030

So PLEASE come and enjoy meeting different people. I hope to see you there.

I should be able to make it I leave in north ga so it will take me a little over an hour to get there. How will I find you?

I have friends coming in from NY this weekend. Y'all have fun!

Hi, i am up in N. Ga. I have an appointment to see Dr Champion. Anyone here used him? I was going to Chatanooga but had a conflict with the Dr about aspirin. I am now going to go to Atlanta.

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?

I'm in McDonough also and am so dissappointed I missed the meeting. Is there a possibility of another one anytime soon?

Georgia girl here! not banded yet but will be soon.

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.
