Lots of people go to Dr. Jaime Ponce in Dalton, Ga. I used Dr. Barry McKernan in Woodstock and was happy wiht him.

I used Dr. Christopher Hart from Emory John's Creek. My husband used his partner Dr. Johnson. Neither of us have any negative experience and the hospital is wonderful.

I used Dr. Steinberg out of Dekalb Medical center. I live and work at a hospital in Gwinnett and had Never been to Dekalb so I was nervous but I had the BEST experience! Everyone loves Dr. Steinberg and everyone at Dekalb is amazing! The staff has always been very attentive.

I used Dr. Duncan in Atlanta. It used to be True Results now it is Real Results. Loved, loved, loved him. No problems, great support. It's hard to find doctors in any field that really care, he does. Good luck.

Dr. Richard Fromm, Hamilton Hospital, Dalton, Georgia. He did my surgery in 2003 and I approve of him 100% I am at my goal weight now.

I went through Real Results too and Dr. Duncan did my surgery. It was especially nice to have them do al the insurance approval and we met all qualifications so I had no issues with payment.

      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.
