I used the same doc as Lia above---Dr. Gary Santavicca. I was referred to him by Emory's Bariatric program. He is very thorough.

Martina,
I used Dr. Scott for surgery, but I did all my pre surgery requirements in South Georgia.  I'm not sure who they use from his office in Rome.
Sorry.

Good luck - you are almost there!!

Hey Martina!  I went to Dr. Gary Santavicca, (404) 653-1117.  He was cool.  I plan to make another appointment with him soon.

Topic: PSY EVALUATION
 I have a question?  I have just about got all my requirements that I need for my insurance company in order to get approved for weight loss surgery.  I need to know who did the people in Georgia near Dr. Dennis Smith and Dr. Scott use for Psy evaluation.  Please let me know so that I can call and make appointment.  I have appointment with one doctor who says she have done it before however I had bad experience with one person and would like to use someone who some of the other WLS people have used.  I cannot get answer on phone with surgeon’s office right now.  Reason I am not asking my surgeon is because I am having surgery out of state.   Thanks in advance.

This info was just shared with me tonight and I wanted to pass it along to everyone here.

As you may know, E.R. Drs. are not always up to date on the latest in bariactrics so this cheat sheet can be crucial in an emergency situation!!!

Please print this and keep it available:
