Doctors/Hospitals in Atlanta area



Recommended Posts

Hey All! My name is Erin. I have VSG in January of 2013. I had a very good experience with an excellent team in California. I have since moved back to Atlanta with my husband who is considering the surgery. Does anyone have any good recommendations for doctors/hospitals in the area.

Thanks so much!!!!

Erin

Hi Erin! Welcome to the ATL! I had my VSG the same time as you and I go to Buckhead Bariatrics (near Piedmont hospital) and see Dr. Procter. He also practices with Dr. McGill. Both are excellent! Not sure what part of town you're in so let me know if you have a specific area and I can help you find someone!

Hey Tina! Thanks for this. So we live in Newnan, however we will drive wherever we need to to have a good surgery team. I had such a great experience so I know that it pays to have a good team of doctors.

hey Erin, I used Dr Kevin McGill, he's with Buckhead Bartiatrics also. AMAZING surgeon. the office staff is great. The dietitician with the office is Karen, she's great also. Had my surgery at Piedmont hospital. GREAT staff. that should say a lot coming from a veteran ICU nurse.

      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.
