Doctors Around Atlanta Ga



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used a doctor in Atlanta or the metro area? There are several and I would like to find a recommednation from someone other than reading a posting in the doctors office.

I am looking for the doctors experience and the ost of the procedure. I visited one doctors office and they seemed kind of pushy and I go the vibe that I my money was more important than me being a patient.

I am scheduled for surgery May 5th, 2008 with Dr. Ryland Scott at the Harbin Clinic in Rome. I have less than a month left on my 3 month pre-op diet sessions as required by my insurance (Aetna). I originally had gone to a seminar at Emory which was very informative. However, I live in Cartersville and the trip to Rome was much more convenient with traffic and all. I feel very comfortable with choosing Dr. Scott. If you want more, info PM me.

I had my surgery with Dr. Scott Steinberg with DeKalb Medical Center and I am very pleased with him. I attended seminars at Emory and at DeKalb and the docs at DeKalb blew my socks off with their knowledge, professionalism, approachability, etc. I had a hard time choosing between Dr. Menacherry and Dr. Steinberg. I would have been happy with either. They assist each other in surgery so you get both anyway.

Hi, I was given the number today to contact Emory and I was put on a waiting list that's a year long. I became unable to work as of 2008. 2005 I had a total rt knee replacement, diaabetes/2, h/b, and as of 1998 35% blockage to my heart from ingesting phen fen in 95/96, At age 13,I began yoyo dieting to look like those models of the 60's to only kill my metabolism, I'm sure for now at age 60, I can barely walk for panting like a train. How do I get the help I so Need?

I would definitely check some other area programs. There are other very qualified docs in Atlanta area other than Emory.

I attended seminars at Emory and at DeKalb Medical Center. There are many bariatric Centers of Excellence around the Atlanta area. Try another. You might be surprised at the differences.

I was referred to Dr Champion in Marietta by my family doctor....she says he's done several surgeries for her patients and they have all been pleased. Since I've just started on a 6 mo monitored program for insurance, I have not yet met the doctor....but I have heard good things about him.

My aunt and I both went to Atlanta Bariatrics. Dr. Hart performed her bypass 6 years ago and Dr Johnson did my lapband on 4/21. Both of us are very happy. I live in Douglasville and happily drove the 52 miles to his office for every appt...he's that good!

I do not recommend my physician...Dr. J. Barry McKernen in woodstock ga. Just do your research. Good luck. You won't regret the decision.

Dr. Scott Steinberg did my surgery on May 24th last year...I am extremely happy with him. Great doctor, personality and he is head of the Bariatrics at Dekalb Hospital. I have had 6-7 fills and Dr. Steinberg has done everyone of them and it took no more than 5 minutes to complete and he always does them under fluoro...he has never missed and is very accurate. Check his credentials. etc. He is absolutely the best...I think.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
