Hi all!! Im good look for nutritional assistance, but everythung else is ok

Hey guys, Im doing well. Of course weight loss has slowed but the scale is back to moving after my stall. Down 32 lbs and getting in regular cardio and resistance training. Getting in the Water next week...very excited about that! Other than that I'm trying to push to goal as quickly as possible. Ive got about 100 lbs to lose to get between my goal and my drs. Long journey ahead. Lol

Thanks for checking in!

I've just read this entire thread & added as friends those of you who seem to still be active. I'm using Dr. Macik & am just finishing the pre-op reqs. I'm planning for June 19. I live in Athens now, but grew up in Decatur. Hotlanta babes gotta stick together!

Good luck! I'm 3 months post-op and have been very happy with the results - note that weight lose is slower than you will be expecting - and lifestyle changes are the key - but it is all worth it!! Best wishes as you approach your new journey!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm almost 2 months out and have recently started losing again since a stall of about 2 weeks. I hit the 30 pounds loss mark when I came off my stall!

Congrats to everyone that will be having upcoming surgeries.

Its nice to see the old gang on here again! Glad everyone is well.

Hi everyone.... I'm from Auburn, AL, but my surgeon is going to be Dr. Wes Turton from West Georgia Medical Center. Has anyone used him or know of him? His office is in LaGrange, GA.

Hey all. I'm about to hit my 1 year surgerversary! I've lost 110 lbs and have 70 more to go. I'd love if someone would message me in the area and we could talk face to face. If you are close enough maybe we can meet up and go for walks or something. I need to get exercising! Please message me so it is easier. I live in Gainesville area!

Hello everybody I'm new to the site I'm from Norcross Georgia I am currently looking for a doctor that accept Medicaid only for weight loss surgery. I attended a seminar with Dr Steinberg in Decatur Georgia which was very informative but unfortunately they did not take Medicaid only so I don't know what to do now. If anyone could assist, please let me know I really would love to begin my journey with all of you

I don't know much about Medicaid, but would they have a list or something online of which surgeons accept Medicaid? Maybe a way to search within X miles of your ZIP code? My insurance company has that, so I'm assuming Medicaid might be similar. Maybe Google "bariatric surgeon medicaid atlanta"?
