Topic: RE: Moving to Georgia next month from Pittsburgh need to meet new friends
Traffic is a mess all over Atlanta but it would be good if you could travel away from the traffic.
I think Dr. Dennis Smith has some support groups that meet on Saturday in Marietta and someone recently posted about a support group that meets at Emory John's Creek on Saturdays also.
My groups meet about four times monthly but they are all in central DeKalb which might be farther than you want to travel. However, they meet at 7:30 after the crunch.
Welcome to Georgia!

Topic: RE: Psych Eval?
I used Gary Santavicca, Ph.D. He was great.
I know that Dr. Ritz (I think his first name is Stephen) also does them. He conducts the support groups at DeKalb Medical.

Topic: RE: Surgeon Recommendations for a VSG?
I have been very satisfied with Dr. Macik and with his office staff. His nurse, Robin, is fabulous and is a really great resource.
Topic: Surgeon Recommendations for a VSG?
I am currently in the process of pursuing a gastric sleeve, and I got so mad at the girl who answers the phone at the office of the doctor that I was thinking of using, that I was hoping others here could recommend other surgeons.
Thanks! :)
Thanks! :)

Topic: Psych Eval?
I was wondering everyone went to get your psych eval? My insurance will not be paying for mine and I would like to get a list to call around and get the cheapest price. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA

Topic: RE: X- Post Calling all Macik Patients
You were not playing when you said quick. I was in and out in no time at all, I have to say I like that. The visit, was real laid back. I am not sure what I expected, I think I was looking for it to be a little more intense.

Topic: RE: Peachtree Surgical Center; Titus Duncan
I had my surgery in 2006...I had the lapband...The surgeon was great until I ended up having to have a revision.
As well the staff is VERY difficult to deal with even after the initial run around I received before I even had the surgery. Having the surgery was about my health, but it is ashame that so much money is put into your surgery, yet you are treated so unkind.
In MY opinion that is not good good customer service (which should come FIRST and farmost)!
I did NOTHING WRONG on my part to ruin my band, but if something is broke, fix it don't try to avoid the patient.
Word of mouth is the VERY BEST OR VERY WORST advertisement, and Titus Duncan's office needs to be aware of that.
Again, this was my experience, but hopefully noone else will have to endure what I have...I am STILL in the process of having the revision done, and hopefully @ some point I will find resolution so that I can use the tool (lapband) as it was designed for, as I have done in the past when it was working properly.
Thank for listening!
