Atlanta GA, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm in North Atlanta and having RYGB in late 2016. Doing the pre-op diet and exercise now. My surgeon is Dr. Hart from Atlanta Bariatrics. I'm a 50 y.o. male trying to get healthy for my wife and daughter. Any other men out there starting the same journey?

Hey Chris,

I know I not a male but I saw your post, since I'm from Atlanta too, I just wanted to reply. I'm Tori. I'm 28 in age but probably 60 in my mind. lol! I'm having the RYGB August 4th at Emory Johns Creek with Dr Williams, I think our surgeons are in the same group. I don't know about you but I'm pretty nervous, excited, and a whole list of other emotions. Like yourself I want to get healthy for myself and for the family I plan to have in the very near future. Have you been to any support groups in the area? I hope everything goes well with your journey! :)

Hey Tori,

Thanks for the reply. Dr. Williams is an different group I think but I'm having the surgery at Emory Johns Creek as well. It's a first-rate facility from what I can tell. Still looking for support groups but I have a little time yet.

Best wishes for your surgery. I'm sure that it will go great and you'll be glad you had the operation. Keep me posted on what you think of the hospital and the staff.

Chris

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
