Hi Trinity...my name is Susan and I had Dr Chris Hart do my sleeve @ Emory Johns Creek Hospital in Johns Creek here in Atlanta. I was sleeved on Fri, May 14. I work with Dr Hart and his partner, Dr Johnson, alot at the hospital due to being in anesthesia. They both are extremely competent at this surgery and you would do well by them If any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Trinity, I just saw that you mentioned Northside Hospital...if you are going there, I would choose Dr Paul Macik. Hope this is helpful!

Trinity...I'm using Dr. Scott Davis at Emory-Midtown and getting sleeved in June. I like the Emory program and comfortable with the Emory program. I think that is the big thing, you need to be comfortable and confident in program.

Hey Trinity. Just saw this thread. I had my VSG surgery at Northside and it was great. The bariatric floor was nice and the nurses were very responsive and caring. I've had surgery at Emory Midtown before and that was a great experience too.

I had surgery on June 22 and have lost 16 pounds since surgery. I haven't weighed since last week, so I may have lost some more since then. I don't have any doc appointments this week, so I'll have to find a scale somewhere so I can update my ticker. That may be enough motivation for me to get to the gym so I can check my weight.

kenwillmore and I have the same surgeon.

Hi, Im using Dr. Hart at Emory Johns Creek hospital. Their staff have been extremely helpful thru this whole process. I am currently waiting for my insurance approval. Hopefully I will find out by the end of this week. Good Luck with your choice.
