I am a die-hard New Yorker, who now lives in Atlanta. I often wonder how my VSG journey would be different if I still lived in New York. There is a surreal emphasis on food down here in Atlanta, and every minute there are food commercials on television. You have to have a strong will, which I am developing, but it gets HARD!!! To answer your question, I heard that Mercy Hospital on Long Island has an excellent Bariatric surgery team. Btw, I am "Sleeved" 10 months and I've lost 73 pounds so far!!!
