Hi -- I'm from N Ga too (Jasper) and Dr Champion banded me on 11/12 --I'm doing great post-op.

I really like his staff and Doctor Champion. I think you will like all of them. Let me know how things go...Good luck!

Hi Tessa , Dr Bagneto did my surgery, I also live in Albany. Have you been able to get insurance to pay? I had no luck and paid for it myself. Hope it works. Would love to talk with others from Albany for support.

Hi all. I'm from georgia also. I live in atlanta. Its right outside of atlanta by six flags. I just had surgery on the 12th. I doing ok but have some concerns. My port incision seems so big. Its like half the size of a tennis ball and I thought it would have went down by now. So I'm a little worried at this point, I too was self pay and went to mexico to have my surgery. It also bothers that incision when i'm sitting straight up. I kind of have to lean back and stretch out that side of my body for it to feel better. Any advice fellow Georgians?

ATL38, who is doing your surgery? I live in Lilburn. If you have any questions, ask away.

Good luck to all the newly banded, waiting to be banded or just getting started. It is all so worth it.

      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.
