Healthy Mama 1 Posted May 7, 2012 Live in Atlanta and headed to Mexico for my surgery with Dr Alvarez on June 11th. Would be very interested to know of local support group suggestions. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Look@meitsEmily 26 Posted May 17, 2012 NW Georgia sleever here! I just started the process... looks like it will be October once appointments are finished and insurance is approved. Has anyone used Dr. J. Ryland Scott? I really like him, I don't know anyone who has had surgery done by him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCBunny 9 Posted May 25, 2012 Hey you'll - count me in! I'm hoping for a June surgery too. As of today' date=' all of my records are in at the surgeon's office. I have a tentative date scheduled and my paperwork is going to insurance on Monday. We're going to have to post some strategies for passing by all the GA rib joints, krispy cremes, and fish frys after surgery. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modern/tongue_smilie.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup1:' />[/quote'] I'm so glad you have made request for strategies! I have three kids and a husband and it's going to be hard to cook and not eat. Help!! I'm also glad to see some fellow GA sleevers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
