I think you will find the experience to be awesome!

Hey journeybegins05032013! I live intown in north Druid hills. I've only heard great things about Dr. Hart. I checked both doctors out but ultimately felt more comfortable with Dr. Johnson. How are you doing post op?

That's great (the losing part.) Moving is a rough time for everyone and I guess I'll have fun with that in a few months, myself.

Anyone convert from a lapband to a sleeve? I am in stone mountain and wanting to get in to see dr. Hart. How long does it take to get scheduled?

I didn't convert from a lapband...but have you been to one of the classes at emory jc that dr Johnson and dr hart have? After I went, I got a call like 2 days later to schedule an appointment.

I started this process quite a few times in the past, but I can honestly say that both dr Johnson and dr hart care and they want people to physically be at their best in the end. It's been a pleasure dealing with both of them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
