Yum!

I had tilipia over the weekend with a baked potato and a little sour cream to make the potato mushier.

Delicious.

Hi all-

I just wanted to introduce myself. I probably need to lose 1/2 of my body weight and am thinking about the lap band. (Roux-en-y sounds too scary for me.) I'm so thrilled that I found this Georgian thread!

I'm in East Cobb/Marietta and really appreciate the doctor/facility information.

Hope everyone is well and has a great week!

Yep, I am back in Georgia. The flight was fine in and of itself but I got a little nauseous; luckily I had the anti-nausea tablets that dissolved under my tongue, so I was fine.

Hi Sick N Tired,

I was banded by Dr. Johnson with Atlanta Bariatrics. He practices out of Emory Johns Creek.

The hospital & office are excellent. I really like the whole staff.

Good luck, and take the 1st step - check it out (go to a seminar).

Thanks!

Ok. Girls I need your help. Here I am one week away from meeting with my surgeon Dr. Lin at Emory. I get a call today from his office saying that he will not be doing bands for awhile. :confused:Now they want to switch me to some new lady Jahnavi Srinivasan. She just recently finished her fellowship under Dr. Lin. I just don't trust anyone new. :)

Can you guys recommend a surgeon at Emory. I am in dire need of finding a great experienced surgeon.:confused2:

I would recommend my Dr., Scott Davis. He is at the same office as Dr. Lin. He is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. He looks rather young but has experience and has been teaching others because he always has someone coming in with him to watch and learn when I go in for my fills, and had interns watching during the surgery.

Although Dr Lin did my surgery, My initial visit was with Dr. Davis and he came highly recommended. Dr. Lin was awesome but Dr Davis would be my next choice at Emory.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
