ITINERARY
Those of us traveling from the Atlanta area will meet at the McDonald's in Suwanee. You may carpool or drive your own car.
If you live in the GA mountains area you may prefer to meet us around 10:30am at the Cool River Tubing Company sight. This will be a rare chance for you N. GA guys to meet some of your Atlanta OH friends, since you are always so far away from the meet & greet sights!
We will tube along the Chattahoochee River in the North Georgia Mountains about 2 hours.
We will ride a shuttle bus back to the River Tubing Post. This is included in the tube rental fee.
Afterward, we will change back into street clothes, enjoy some optional sight seeing and shopping, and have lunch at Creekside Deli.
Wow has it been quiet aroud here! Are you guys still alive?
We haven't done a group outing in a while, so I thought it would be nice to get together and do something in July.
Please join us for a day of tubing with Cool River Tubing in Helen GA and lunch at Creekside Deli in Cleveland GA Sunday, July 10, 2011.
*** This is a family friendly event, so please feel free to bring your children.
That would be amazing! i am having such a hard time backsliding.. its so hard when you have a family to feed and their nutritional needs are different.. lol but i guess we all have those battles.. i and trying to get back on track , and so i thought it would be very helpful to search out others in my area for support seeing as how they go through all the ups and downs associated with being post bypass.... how long have you been in Dallas? we have been here about a year now...Rome is kinda far to drive with gas prices the way they have been i would like to find one near here, acctualy it supprises me there arnt more support groups out there... how far out post op are you ? i am right at 2 years ..

His name is Joseph Woods, M.D. He is chief of plastic surgery at Piedmont and also operates at DeKalb Medical. Nobody else will ever do ps on me but him. His office is at Piedmont Hospital.
One of the things I liked most about him was the time he took during the consultation. He spent well over an hour with me and my husband and took time to answer every one of our questions. His office staff is great--they know each patient by name--almost like a family affair.
I will pm you his information later today.

I hit my 2 year surgiversary next week and am starting my plastics journey. I found Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg over on the plastics forum when one of his patients posted some great pics. Does anyone else have experience with him?
I am interested in a lower body lift, breast augmentation and arm lift.
If you did not use Dr. Lincenberg, but are absolutely crazy about your plastic surgeon, please respond with that information, as well. I live in Sandy Springs, but will travel for a great doctor. I went up to Nashville to have my DS.
Thanks!

Hi , i had surgery 2 years ago while we lived in Alabama, we have moved to Ga about a year ago and i have become more and more in need of finding a close support group. it amazes me how few there are in the Atlanta metro area.. Carrolton is just to far to drive from Dallas ,Ga...
does anyone know of a group new or old in the near vacinity? i have backslid and really need to surround myself with people who understand what this life changing procedure is like and how to stay on course....
thanks so much

I had surgery at Emory and also was on the Bariatric unit at Northside Perimeter for a week a few weeks after surgery. I found Emory to be just as good Northside. I think their after care is great.
