AtlJD 3 Posted August 24, 2013 Hey, i.had my surgery at emory johns creek by dr. Khan.. everyone is great there.. good luck with your surgery! Congratulations! How did you like your experience at the hospital? How long did you stay? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sse 20 Posted August 24, 2013 I'm not ATL, but I'm gonna reply anyway. I do love ATL...does that count? I was in at 6am for an 8am for surgery on a Thursday. Released Friday night. Was a vegetable on Saturday and Sunday, other than getting up to walk, and went to work on Monday. I have a white collar desk job, keep in mind...nothing crazy. But I've felt great and had no issues. I'm almost a month out, down almost 30 lbs...started at 244, now at 215. Zero regrets!!! 1 Tyas84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrsno1fan 22 Posted August 25, 2013 I'm on the southside, McDonough. I had surgery on 8/6. Went in Tues. 8:30 am stayed over night at Gwinnett Medical Center Duluth and was out around 7:00pm Wednesday. Center for Surgical Weight Management at Gwinnett Medical was awesome. Dr. Robert Richard was the best. He answered all my questions and returned a 911 call from me on a Sunday within minutes of calling the service. In 19 days I'm down 26.2 lbs. including the 2 weeks prior on the liquid diet. I have Federal BCBS so all of the normal "hoops" were required. But I'm already on a cpap so no sleep study. And I had a hiatal hernia confirmed through my gastro dr so no endo was required. I had about $500 out of pocket for office visit co-pays and the purchase of the Meal Replacement shake mix for 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
