Paigey 7 Posted November 8, 2009 This is the doctor I've chosen. He seems like he really knows what he's talking about and speaks to his patients like they are real people. He says that obesity is a disease and should be treated as such. After my seminar, for the first time, I actually felt like I had hope. Has anyone else had experience with Dr. Gorjala?

Paigey 7 Posted October 29, 2010 Hey! It's nice to see another patient of Dr. Gorjala's! Don't you just love them! I am really happy with him and his entire staff. As of today, including my pre-op diet, I've lost 27 lbs. I got my first fill on 10/21, so I hope to continue losing at a good pace.

Rainydayz 3 Posted February 14, 2011 Did you have surgery and how are you now? Dr. Gorjala did my surgery and I think the whole staff is great. I went to Dr. Gorjala's seminar too. He seems very strict but that's good. I was impressed that he spoke at the seminar himself. Another place I went I wasn't going to even meet the surgeon until right before surgery. Anyway, how do I get to the Georgia band forum? The link did not work for me. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paigey 7 Posted July 31, 2011 It's been a while since I've posted. My life has changed so much since I had my surgery. I am currently down to 172 lbs! I no longer have to shop in the plus size department, I have more energy, came off of all medications and have a much better social life. Before, I was just too embarrassed to go out in public or hang around with my old friends and I was so tired all the time. Dr. Gorjala's office has definitely been a positive influence on my entire life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkkmocha 5 Posted October 22, 2011 I am going to his seminar on Oct 27th. I hope to have my surgery within a month. I will be self pay so that should cut out a lot of the red tape. My BMI is 32.6 and I have high blood pressure. FDA has approved it but the my insurance company has not changed the criteria as of yet and it may take years.
