Hello from Atlanta

Hi Everyone,
I am sooooooooo happy to have this forum to read about and know that I am not the only person dealing with this. My first consult is on May 22 at TrueResults in Atlanta. Has anyone ben there and if so, what has been their experience.
This decision was not easy for me to make and I am glad that I will have a place that I can come to for a reality check and for people to keep it real with.

I am using a doctor that is part of that group. Dr. Johnson at Atlanta Bariatrics. So far it has gone pretty well. I am waiting on my insurance. Have been a little frustrated because it seems to take a while to get all of the paperwork together. I have had all of the required doc visits finished for 3 weeks now and hopefully they have put it thru to my insurance this week. Dr. Johnson seems well qualified. Who is your Doctor?

Don't know yet. I am hoping for Dr. Hart. I have heard only wonderful things about him and his staff. Did it take you a long time to make up your mind that this is the procedure for you?

Hi,

I am from Ellijay, the North GA Mountains. I worked in Atlanta for a while. I was banded on Oct. 5, 2007 by Dr. Ponce in Dalton, Ga. I have lost 45 lbs. I am so happy I decided to take the band journey. I know I'm on my way to a happier, healthier, new me. I wanted to wish you luck on your journey!
