Topic: RE: plastic surgery after gastric bypass
Peachstate...yes.....I needed a letter of medical necessity.....record of dr. visits...previous treatments that failed such as creams, powders, back brace, physical therapy, and I even had to have x-rays.
But I already had all that done prior to seeing Dr. Reddy...I would suggest still making an appt. to see him and discuss your issues and let him examine you because everyone is different and your approval process may be different and faster!

Hello,
I am new to the website. I had gastric plication in tijuana in December. I am also an RN and live in *******
(near Suwanee). I am looking for other post surgical friends to help me along. I have stalled recently and need some support. that is the only drawback to having surgery so far away. I was originally 230lb and today was at 189.5. One of the leading bariatric programs is in Johns Creek/Emory. I even had a consult but refused to pay the exorbinant cost($18K for lap band). Any help I can give I would love to do.

Topic: RE: plastic surgery after gastric bypass
Nichole you look amazing!
......151 pounds lost...OMG!...U go girl!
God is soooooooooo good! and he really uses Dr. Larry Hobson and the entire group..Dr. Hobson did my surgery and I have had no complications and I am so please with my experience and success.
Peachtree Surgical and Bariatrics referred me to Dr . Pravin Reddy. He is in the 285 bldg. on the 5th floor...The office number is 404-688-1444...Ask for Camara...She is wonderful.
Dr. Reddy is amazing....He is just like Dr. Hobson...He is attentive, concerned, calls you back and gives you a relaistic result. Dr. Reddy is also a Trauma and Wound Surgeon in addition to PS so you will be in good hands!
He works out of Atlanta Medical Center and Northside Hospital...Yes, he does accept Peachstate which is what I have. I had a very large pannus that created rashes, infections in the folding skin and excruciating back pain and a bulge in my spine/disc. I had to have a letter of medical necessity from my PCP and records but they did cover me..
I love Peachstate...They covered my RNY on the first submission and they also covered my panniculectomy on the first submission...My first visit with Dr. Reddy was in January and my surgery was March 3. Yes, I was hellified nervous again
because I have carried this big belly for so long....It brought my 10 kids into this world and in a way I never thought it could be gone!
But I am loving my new belly....He gave me a new navel and my back pain is gone....He does everything......thighplasty, breasts...you will be pleased....I sure am!
