My first step, a seminar



Recommended Posts

I went to a seminar recently. I am so excited about getting the procedure done. I have alot of work to do now but in reading everybody elses replies, I am confident that everything will be OK.

I am from Apharetta Georgia and I am using Atlanta Bariatrics, Dr. Hartand Dr. Johnson. Is anyone from this area of GA and did anyone use Atlanta Bariatrics? ;)

Hey there *Waves*

I'm down in Decatur, not too far from Alpharetta. I looked into Dr. Johnson but I am self pay and the doctors in our area are pretty expensive if you are paying for it out of pocket! I am having my surgery done by Dr. Freeman in Anniston, Al.

The seminar I went to was daunting. I mean it's so much information, and to think I'd done a lot of reading up on the procedure beforehand! I think actually seeing and touching a lap-band did it for me. Thinking of it being inside me...but I am very excited and anxious...cannot wait to get the lbs off my body!

Best of luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
