Did anyone get a sleep study done before surgery? If so who did you use and how much should I expect to pay?

Hey Georgia Girl! I just scheduled my psych eval, and have my 2nd visit with the nutrionist scheduled. I hope to be banded by the end of March.

Welcome Fryn! I am on my way to getting the lap band surgery. Good luck! We usually keep posting on the "newbie from GA thread" Jump on and introduce yourself to all the Georgians.

Hey Buttercup Happy New Year to You! How is everything? :whoo:

Does any one know anything about Dr. Joanne Williams at Emory? I think she is new, I've had two meetings with her so far, but I am considering changing to Dr. Lin.

You can reach his surgery center at the following link. Surgery South, P.C.

I have a good friend who is a surgeon. He does wound care and his colleagues do lap band surgeries and removals. I live in the Atlanta area and do not want to make the mistake of visiting this surgeon.

Buttercup its good to see that you are doing fine. Kissmygrits good luck on your surgery!

Now that I have made the decision to have the lap band surgery, my friends have been re-acting very negatively. :angry They never had a problem when I was failing at weight watchers, or jennie craig. Now they want to encourage me to continue to try to loose weight without surgery. Where was the support before? No one ever volunteered to loan me their treadmill b4 I announced I was going to have the surgery. Now suddenly everybody has an opinion about my weight, and how I should loose it. Has anyone experienced this? Why are my friends having a negative reaction to my news to have surgery?

Thanks for the encouragement.

Hey Buttercup. I am so proud of you!

Buttercup. Can U let us know how your surgery goes? I had my consultation yesterday with Dr. Williams at Emory. Good Luck! & Get Skinny!

Good Luck Candy! I have my first appointment at Emory tomorrow. I hope to be banded in March. I want to hear all about how you feel after surgery.

I am not banded yet. I hope to be banded in early March. I was wondering if anyone has had a stomach virus or food poisioning since being banded? I have this weird fear that it would hurt really badly. Any information would be helpful.. Thanks!:help:

Thanks for answering my question Rumar!

Hey Y'all! I wanted to introduce myself. I am having my initial consultation this Tuesday. I hope to start my 3 month diet. Did anyone here get banded at Emory? If so, by which doctor?

Oh my God! I have family in Odenville. I start my 3 month pre-op diet on Tuesday. I hope to have surgery in March 08. Good Luck!

Hi I have my first appointment with the nutritionist on Tuesday to start my 3 month diet. I hope to have surgery in March or April 08. I was wondering how your banded body reacts to the stomach flu? Is it painful? :paranoid
