Greeting from Augusta GA New here and to the city



Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon,

My name is Larry I am 37 and have lost about 100 lbs had my surgery in Chattanooga TN in Sep of 2006. I since have moved with my company to Augusta GA so now I am in the need of a good fill dr that is willing to work with patients that had their sugery done else where.

I am supervisor for T-mobile. I do exercise often in fact let me tell you about my Saturday adventure. I still am not totally familiar with Augusta GA it was a pleasant day Saturday so I deciced I would go for a bike ride and check out the park by me so I did, no problem, I thought I was riding around a small lake did not think I had rode that far, so I kept going crossed a bridge and my bike pedal broke ona brand new bike. Yes the bike was made in China bought at Walmart the next brand. So I am like well I just have a little bit to walk and asked someone if Kept going did this take me back to the same park I was in and was told yes. However it does not I wound up in Evans GA which is about 15 to 20 miles away. So I had a good workout and also learned in the future to at least go back the way I came. But I did see some pretty interesting sites lol

If you know of someone please let me know and thanks for your help

I'm a nurse here & also considering the lap-band procedure. I can tell you that Dr. Gooden & Dr. Sherman @ University Hospital are very well-thought-of GI docs who can probably meet your need. At Trinity Hospital, Dr. Blaney is your man. Not so sure about MCG, though they are the area's only teaching facility and would be bound to have someone. Haven't heard anything good about Doctor's. Hope this helps if you haven't already found anyone...

      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.
