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...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
