I am wondering if anyone used this hospital in Georgia. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Hello all, I have had my lapband for 2 years now and never lost any weight from it. I could never find my sweet spot and now I can't really hold down solids. I throw up all the time and I'm just tired. I have to do a 3 months weight loss program with my doctor and I am on month 2. I have an appointment set up with a Surgeon next week to look at doing my conversion. My insurance covers at 100% and since I haven't lost weight that is the only requirement that I had to meet. From speaking with the Bariatric Center I can possibly have my surgery in December, if all goes well. I am open to any advice. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

That's great news. I know you are so glad to finally have something like the RNY. I'm looking forward to actually being able to eat healthy food and losing the weight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Wonderful, what was the process like for you?? Please let me know how things go with you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I am having to travel 2.5 hours to a doctor that does the conversion but it's worth it to me to get it done. 1.5 is not bad for the few months until surgery. My first appointment is next week. I wish it was a closer doctor but it's not. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App
