Alabama/Georgia area??



Recommended Posts

It has been a while since I have been on the site. We moved out of state and one thing leads to another and now I am back doing research on the band. Needing to look in to where I can go in Alabama or Georgia for the banding and then for subsequent fills and care. We live near Auburn and very close to Columbus, GA. Atlanta isn't too far, but would really like to find something closer if possible.

If I find a surgeon to do the surgery, even if it is a distance away, what are the chances of finding a Dr. closer by that would "take over" from there to do the fills??

Hi!! I am from Anniston in east Alabama. I am getting banded on May 8 at Trinity Medical center in birmingham. There are several others in B-ham that do the surgery, but this is where I had my son and it is a great place. My surgeon is Dr. Tuoliatos, he is with Advanced Surgeons. You can search it on google. I hope this helps you!!

I'm in Huntsville, AL but my band surgeon is in Anniston, AL.. which is pretty close to Auburn. I really recommend him, he's awesome.. Dr. Freeman.

There are also Birmingham docs, which aren't too terribly far, I think Dr. Miles & Dr. Black are the names?

Hi, I am in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Titius Duncan is one of the best, Peachtree Surgical Associates. They are a center of Excellence. I had surgery on Monday and feeling good, incisions were not that sore, gas pain was a pain. That was about it. He is a very busy doctor, but he knows what he is doing.

Hi Asasbama,

I am in Fort Payne as well, can you please tell me who your surgeon was in Albertville? I have attened a siminar by Dr. Grooves and he seems wonderful, I have also heard great things about Dr. Freeman in Anniston. I would so appreciate your input on how you are doing with your lapband, I am trying to decide whether to band or to go with the bypass surgery.

I am thrilled you are getting to go to Auburn, my daughter lived down there for a while and it is truly one of the most beautiful places ever - Congratulations!

Thanks!

Patricia

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
