I'm in Atlanta! Had surgery at Piedmont Hospital with Dr. Procter. I have lost almost 100 pounds in 6 months and couldn't be happier!

Wow that is great! May I ask what was your presurgery weight? And what ate you doing to loose so fast?!

Who was your surgeon? Did you go through insurance or self pay? I have a consultation with Dr. Johnson on Tuesday and will be self pay. Am wondering about what kind of testing they require.

I'm in Athens & I was sleeved in ATL on June 19 by Dr. Macik at Northside. I'm down about 54 lbs (inc the 2 weeks on preop diet) and I feel great!

No surgery yet, but my surgeon is Dr. Michael Williams. I have a friendly acquaintance who referred me to him after having lap band surgery (from his retired partner) 6 or so years ago (before the sleeve was really popular in this area, I think). I am self-pay as well, so I didn't have the restrictions of an insurance company. I've recently been to the doctor for a regular annual visit, so I really didn't have to do any pre-op testing. No sleep studies, no blood work, no psychological visit (though I already regularly see a therapist)...nothing but what they will do at pre-op to make sure I'm good to go. I think this is something unique to self-payers. I know when going through insurance there are a lot more hoops to jump through.

When I went to my initial seminar, Dr. Johnson was leading it. He seemed very knowledgeable and is kind of a hottie:) I'm really excited. Initially I wasn't going to have my surgery at EJC, I was going to have it at Northside, which are both excellent hospitals (I qualified for a surgery center, but both hospitals were oddly less expensive). However, I was told that the facilities at EJC are so awesome and they have an entire dedicated floor to Gastric patients from their bariatric team, the approximate $400 difference didn't seem to be that much to get that kind of service.
