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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
