Emory at midtown, but all pre open and post open visits are at main location (Clifton rd). Surgery is only done at midtown location. They took very good care of me

Greetings to all, I'm in Athens Ga, and I was just sleeved in Gainesville Ga, by Dr. Henderson. I would love to hook up with others maybe in the Atl area to go walking up stone mountain sometimes or any other hiking trips.

Hey GA Sleevers!

I am looking for a PCP that is supportive of WLS. I live in Marietta but work in Sandy Springs. Since I am going to Mexico for my sleeve, I wanted to get checked out and possibly get the same testing that are normally done here in the states prior to surgery.

Any help would be great.

I'm no expert on this, but I see Dr. Paul Macik at Northside. He's great. If he's not the doctor you're looking for, he'll know someone to recommend. Macik has space on this forum, or you can google him. Hope this helps!

Hi, I am in the last stages of the process to have surgery. In fact, my original date was Dec 5th however, I've hit snag after snag with CIGNA and PCP so don't know when it will be now. :o( I am going to have my surgery with Dr. Macik and wanted to ask if you are pleased with his work, your decision to have the surgery and the recovery period? Thanks!

I al so used Dr. Macik and love him to death! He is the BEST in GA. I am very happy with all of his work and he is well worth the wait. I hit snags also and almost gave up... DON'T. Your new life will be well worth all you have had to go through.

Hugs,

Hansi

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
