Dr. Srinivasan Of Emory In Atlanta, Ga



Recommended Posts

The Emory Crawford Long Facility is great! I had and alblation there in 2007 and VSG in 2011. Nothing at all negative to report during my stays. I have no knowledge about the surgeon you are considering though.

Hello JamaicanGirl,

I was just wondering if you were up to sharing your experience thus far. I just completed my three month monitored diet with Emory and am waiting on approval from insurance. If everything goes well, I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Srinivasan as well. So far I've only met her once, but I felt like she was really responsive in listening to what my desires are.

Hi Pteri,

I think I remember you from one of support group meeting with the dietician, Megan.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Srinivasan. She explained the procedure thoroughly and answered all my questions. Also, right before surgery, while I was under anaesthesia, she explained the procedure to my mother. That made a big difference since my mother was not 100% supportive at first. My mother was so supportive after. Additionally, right after surgery she allowed my mother and daughter to visit me.

I also had my first after surgery follow-up visit with her yesterday and again she listened and answered all my questions. She is excellent!!

Also, she came highly recommended by my doctors that performed by EGD and my stress and echo tests.

Please let me know if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help.

JamaicanGirl,

I do think you were in the very first group session I attended. I'm glad to hear things have gone well with you. My mom also feels very cautious about it. At first she was excited for me and then she made the mistake of watching too many television shows about extreme weight loss and all the things people go through after weight loss surgery -- and of course it's television so they only show the most sensation stories. I wish you much success! Perhaps I'll see you in support group.

Hello MRMroma,

I am doing very well.

I spoke to Dr. Srinivasan twice before surgery and I asked her several questions. I was very comfortable with her responses. She was very knowledgable. In addition, my cardiologist and gastroenterologist knew her personally and professionally and highly recommended her.

That confrimed any doubts I had.

The nurses were excellent.

I am not going to lie. I did wake up in extreme pain and I asked for pain killer immediately. They gave me a morphine shot and then attached a morphine drip that helped tremendously.

      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.
