Docs in Atlanta Area???



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am just taking my first baby steps towards my new life :clap2: and I am looking for your recommendations for a doc in ATL. I am familiar somewhat with the big Emory group (C. Daniel Smith) but they do mostly RNY, and I want someone who specializes in LB.

TIA

Deanna

I am using Dr. William Johnson in Dr. Christopher Hart's office with Atlanta Bariatrics/ Johns Creek Surgery. They are a bariatric surgery center of excellence and operate both at Northside and soon at the new Emory Johns Creek. Dr. Johnson did his bariatric fellowship at Duke University.... I think you have to have a big brain to go there, and he seems very thorough, smart, and professional. I am only in the pre-op stage. Call their office for an initial consultation, and they'll get you on the road. 770-232-9252

Hi

I am in Gainesville, Georgia. I found a doctor here but I guess he may be too far for you all.

I am glad to have found people from Georgia. I have not had the procedure done. I am attending a seminar this coming saturday to start the process.

I live in Stockbridge and found Dr. Macik with the Atlanta Bariactric Center. This surgery center is a Center of Excellance for Bariactric Surgery. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
