Hi I am a newbie to this site and will need a mentor



Recommended Posts

Searching for a great doctor in the Metro Atlanta Area. I have been told by my doctor that I am a candidate for the lap band but is searching for a good doctor the will refer me to a lap band surgeon!My current doctor doesn't really believe in the lap band nor the gastric bypass. She wants me to do it on my own. Which I am trying to do but very hard. :smile2: My insurance will cover 90 percent of the procedure! I need a lil help with this matter.:thumbup:

There is a Band Buddy forum to get a mentor, but it will probably be quicker to post something the Georgia state forum asking for the name of a good PCP in your area who is WLS friendly.

OMG!!!

Have I got the doc for you!!

DR JOHN DALY

980 Johnson Ferry road in Decatur

404-252-0433

Ofc Manager is Tammy and she is the most amazing person I have ever met.

I am from Macon, went through the initial stuff with a doctor in Augusta, and to my dismay they could not get it approved with my insurance. I got dicouraged and waited 1.5 years. Then I met Dr. Daly. Within 1.5 months I had my surgery. (Last Weds as a matter of fact and doing awesome!!)

You can check out so much info on Dr John on Obesityhelp.com. He is ranked at the top in nation.

      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.
