Anybody else in the Atlanta & Marrietta area using Wellstar Comprehensive Bariatrics Services? I've just finished my initial consultation with Dr Jean- Pierre and am now working on my clearances and presurgical requirements. Looks like it will be a busy few months!

Yes! He was my surgeon! I have my 30 day follow up appointment on Tuesday.

(BTW- the clinic has its own Facebook support group if you want to join)

Well Done! Congratulations!

I'm doing WellStar, but in Lagrange. How did the approval process from the doctor go? I'm assuming they'd be similar?

So far so good. My primary's clearance was contingent on my cardiologist which I have just received after Echo and Stress Test (I have previous cardiac issues). The lab work was extensive and the pulmonary routine. The GI study and Gall Bladder were accomplished the same day. Its a very busy process but Im now down the psychological clearance. No kidding WellStar's clearance program is extensive but Im sure that means less complications later.

Hi SupRNurse,

I have my first appointment with Dr. JP on the 20th can you share what to expect? I am a nut about being prepared. Did you meet with the Nut doctor and the exercise expert? Did they do blood work? What did you think of Dr. JP?
