My surgeon is DR. Scott Steinberg who is located in Decatur, GA. He is an excellent surgeon/physician and I would recommend him to any one. He is young(in his early thirties), but don't let his age fool you! He is very experienced and knowledgeable. He is also really good with the followup procedure, as well. I have been banded about 71/2 months and have had 4 fills already. He is not conservative with the fills or the fill amounts. The only thing he cares about is my overall health and getting me to my goal weight.

If you are looking for a great surgeon in the Atlanta area, I recommend giving his office a call at (404) 501-7081, his assistant is named Cheryl. She can answer any questions that you may have:D

You are so nice to post about fill doc without anyone asking. You emailed this info to me a week or so ago and I haven't called yet. I certainly plan on it since it would MUCH cheaper than a plane ticket back to Monterrey!

I went to his Group Session about a week ago. I am looking forward to beginning my journey. I'm a little scared though. Any advice you can give sure would be helpful.

Thanks,

Tunisia

I had my surgery April 8, 2008. My experience with the lapband and with Dr. Steinberg has been GREAT all around. Good luck with your choice.

I have decided to definitely go with Dr. Steinberg. Thanks for the posting. I am interested in hearing how you have lost in one year and how your life has changed? Do you regret the lap band or is the best thing that has ever happened to you? I guess I will get advice from Dr. S on lapband vs gastric.

It is the best decision I've ever made in my life. I went from a size 22 and am now a size 14w in one year and I am still losing. I would do lapband vs. gastric bypass because you never use your stomach again with gastric bypass. To me it just seems so unnatural.

How long after your pre-op appt did you have to wait to get a surgery date? Im soo waiting on my date!

Not long at all. As soon as I got all the pre-op requirements done. My surgery was scheduled a week and a half later. It just depends on Dr. Steinberg's schedule and your schedule, of course.

Good luck.

      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!
