Make sure that you keep copies of everything.  Tiffany ddin't pay attenetion to my paperwork from my PCP for my six month visits and that held up my approval for a day.  Luckily, my ins. co. called and said what I needed so I was able to go up the street to my PCP to get copies.  Other than that, the office is relly good.  Once you get your approval, call Tiffani and tell her that you want to schedule your surgery.  After that, you go take three tests at the hospital.  I went to Northside for my surgery.  I didn't attend the support groups with Dr. Macik because I live in Cobb so I attended them at Wellstar with Dr. Smith.  I started out considering the lap band and quickly changed my mind when I saw the statistics, realized that it stays in you until you have it surgically removed and found out that you have to get it filled every few months.  Nope, RNY was the best choice for me.

Congratulations Martina!

Im 2 years out and I want to say Dr. Macik is the mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!! hands down!!

I got to visit with Martina this morning and she is doing good.  She was out of bed sipping on water and eating Jello when I got to her room.   Looks like she will be able to go back to GA tomorrow.
