Never heard of him....

I am seeing dr. Macik next week to discuss the removal of my band and getting sleeved. I will have to wait at least 6 weeks between surgeries, so hoping for early July removal and mid August sleeve....was going to consult with Emory j.c., but they won't make me an appt until they receive my operative notes from the lapband done at Emory midtown....

ratrita, sorry for a late response, but Dr. Richard did my sleeve. I LOVE HIM and absolutely LOVE the program. It has been really nice to be able to use the clothing closet and not have to spend a ton of money as I drop sizes. They are all very supportive in his office, too. I missed support group this month, but should be there in July...hope you are recovering nicely!

Hope everyone is doing great!

I feel the exact same way! I am on day 3 of my 10 day preop... its been hard but my driving force is that I know I will be better off. Good luck to you!

I'm in Canton, GA, and I'm having my surgery July 18th with Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Bariatrics (Emory Johns Creek). I think the whole program is great. I'm new to this site and want to read stories about the first day or two after surgery. Where do I go? Also, almost everyone seems to stay in the hospital for a day or two, and I'm supposed to go home the same day. Did anyone else go home the same day?

Hi folks. I was sleeved up in PA a year ago and moved to ATL for work recently. I live in Roswell and I'm looking for a good support group. What program has the best follow up care? I'm thinking I'd like to do follow up with a nutritionist every few months, and get/provide support in a group environment.

Thanks!

Jay

Hello Atlanta. I live in Marrietta and had my 1st consult with Dr. Hart. Anyone had experience with him? Extremely quiet.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
