Georgia Surgeons - where did you go??



Recommended Posts

I am from atlanta and looking to get a revision ! I previously had the sleeve.

Any suggestions on surgeons??

I will be self paying as my insurance does not cover 😞😭

Has anyone else had surgery in Georgia and have a surgeon they love?? Anyone had revision surgery here in Georgia?

I previously had my sleeve surgery done with Dr Richards at Gwinnett but wasn’t too thrilled.

I went to Beltline Bariatric. They have several offices in Newnan, Atlanta Howell mill rd and now I think stockbridge. They work with you on self-pay although my insurance covered it.

This is the same doctor as on TLC's Family by the Ton. (I didn't know that until after I started going to nutrition appointments.) Dr proctor and his staff seem to have everything worked out and a really tidy process. I didn't have to do a lot of administrative things. The followup is a planned schedule for a year or more. They say "for life".

Thank so much!! I saw them on the list when i was researching.

Did you end up doing self pay? What kind of administration things did they waive for you?

:)

I went through Cigna. But we had a quick discussion about self-pay but the insurance did better for me.

      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.
