Hopefully not one who tells me I should be eating 1200-1500 calories a day when I am good if I can get in 800..lol Today my stomach decided it wasn't happy with the chicken I was eating (at 7pm) and i only got in 566 calories because it just was not accepting any more food and the idea of drinking a protein shake was not appealing to it either.
I live on the north east of Atlanta, but they don't have to be all the way up here. I will travel for good advice.

However, with my first EGD, they did the opposite, they opened up my esophagus and stomach area because I couldn't keep food down. The second one was a week later to check that I didn't need to be more stretch out inside and I didn't.
It wasn't that bad at all for me. They give you anethesia and you go out pretty quickly. Then you wake up. I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I was able to go home 20 minutes later, they just verified that someone was there to take me home. I slept a lot that afternoon and I felt better actually after.
Like I said, I know it isn't the same thing, but I can say the EGD part and them fiddling around in there did not cause me any pain.

Hey Cynde!
.....Dr. Hobson did my RNY surgery too in 08 and my weight loss had stalled for over a year and I was holding at 175 for ovrer a year with lil losses here and there......I was always a slow loser though...
Dr. Hobson and Dr Speight suggested the same procedure for me and I was going to do it but my insurance denied....soooo last summer I painted my house interior 85% by myself just or the exercise and my weight loss picked up again and was teetering at 170
then in March this year I had a panniculectomy and dropped another 20 pounds...I have alot of excess skin...so take that into account also...Good luck!
