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.

      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.
