I am so happy to find a GA forum! I couldn't find anyone who could relate! I live in Lawrenceville, and do not know of any support groups in my area. I was wondering has anyone had any experience with Peachtree Bariactrics ? Specifically, Dr. Titus Duncan or Dr. Hobson? I have heard nothing but good things about then. I would just like to know of any other experiences. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! I am so excited about my current journey! And I look forward to giving and getting much needed encouragement!

Sincerely ,

Dekonte

Hi Dekonte! Sorry, I don't know anything about Peachtree Bariatrics, but I just wanted to say welcome. I was banded by Dr. Bagnato in Albany, Ga in Sept 2007. Good luck to you and keep us posted on your journey!

Hey Dekonte-

Not familiar with those doctors. I'm in Decatur/work in Norcross but my doc is in Alabama! There are plenty of folks buzzing around here though who have gone to doctors in Atlanta.

Good luck! :drool:

The service is crap--I had my band last July and so far it's been a real pain in the butt. On the day of my surgery--they forgot--literally forgot to prescribe me any pain or nausea meds. 10 minutes after surgery, my clothes were tossed at me and the nurse said, "Get dressed." Seriously.

I also live in Norcross and I also am using Dr.Hobsons office for my lap band and Christine Bao for pcp. I have heard nothing but great things about them, you can also go to obesityhelp.com for info. How far along are you in your process? send me a message I would love to keep in contact .....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
