I also used Gary Santavicca.  I thought he was great and very supportive and encouraging.  I have emailed him since I had surgery letting him know of m progress and got some great comments from him.

The other good thing is that he has offices all around town....convenient for most.

Dr. Stephen Rich is another dr. who works alot with bariatric patients.  His office is in downtown Decatur.

Topic: Update - for those thinking of the RNY
I had a RNY on Sept 1st of last year - I am down 86.2 pounds, and I think I have about 35 to go.

I am so thankful I was able to do this surgery! I love my new eating habits, and am loving working out everyday now that I can do more!

Thinking about WLS but still unsure? Check out my pics :)

I'm already 70% of the way to my goal!!!
