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.

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.

      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.
