I used Dr. Jamil Stetler at Emory Bariatrics. He was awesome. I had zero complications and my incisions look great. First visit was April 5 with a 3 month supervised diet for insurance and was sleeved on Aug 4.

My husband and I are being sleeved on the 27th with Dr. Ahad Khan in Alpharetta (surgery at Emory Johns Creek) He did an emergency gallbladder removal on my husband and we loved him. The process has been very easy and he doesn't do a pre-op liquid diet.

Wow, I just posted asking the same thing...Good doctors in Atlanta. Tuggle seems to be the one. What about Dr. Paul Malik ..SP....At Northside Bariatric?

Looking at Peachtree Bariatrics. Do they do the single incision procedure? I know Dr. Paul M at Northside Bariatrics does.

Dr. Kevin McGill at Piedmont hospital in Atlanta did my sleeve 3 weeks ago today! He is very skilled, and compassionate. Easy to talk to and very reassuring. I had a freak out moment on my first night home from the hospital and called him apologetically at ten pm, and he was very understanding and made me comfortable.

I choose Dr. McGill to do my surgery because he seems very sincere.

      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!
