Alicia in Atlanta

[Figpuddin 0]

Hello All! New to the board. I just made the decision this week to pursue banding. I am self pay so basically the only big decision I have is what Doctor/Center to choose. I would love any advice on the surgery itself or any Atlanta related advice. I am 41 years old and currently weigh 285 lbs. I am excited about pursuing this option and excited to meet people in the same boat as me :frown:

Hi. I had my surgery done in Jan. 2008 with Dr. Scott Steinberg at Dekalb Medical Center in Decatur. I could not be happier with the entire experience. Dr. Steinberg and his office are amazing. They are patient, answer all questions, and made getting the surgery run as smooth as possible. Dr. Steinberg (and his partner) is an excellent doctor, and I always knew I was getting the best care. He is a bariatric surgeon, so this surgery is all he does. Dekalb Medical Center was a wonderful facility as well.

Hi there and welcome to LBT. I used to live in Duluth, GA, but had my surgery after we moved to Jacksonville.

We look forward to getting to know you. Let us know when you get a date scheduled.
