Recommended Posts

I was going to go to Emory Bariatric Center but I am just not feeling the process and dont like feeling rushed or not being provided concise information...This is a life altering decision and until I get someone that makes me comfortable with that, I will continue to search!!!!!

How did you have to start the process with them?

I went to Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Baractrics. I started at Emory as well last year and was doing the Optifast and their program was all over the place! So, I left.

To start the process, you have to attend a orientation meeting. At the orientation, they give you a wonderful packet that includes all the information you will need. The most important thing is the insurance page that list exactly what to ask them to find out what's coveted etc. They pretty much take care of everything - even making sure you schedule 2 or 3 appts in one day to save u time. You can email, fax, or have docs send papers to them ad you complete items and they put the packet together and send to your insurance.

I stArted by going to a seminar. Then they set me an appointment to meet with surgeon and then insurance coordinator. They put together a road map that tells you every thing you have to do!

      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.

        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.

      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!
