Trying to get info

I'm having RNY surgery soon. Just trying to find someone that had/or is having surgery soon with Dr. Michael Williams. Any one thats had WLS using Medicare Insurance. Any one that's had WLS at Emory @ Johns Creek. Thanks, Sandra

Hi Sandra, Dr Williams did my WLS surgery, and I am very happy that I chose him for my surgeon...I did have one complication approx 10 months post op...the initial diagnosis was that I had a partially blocked bowel obstruction, which turned out to be scar tissue. Scar tissue can happen at any time and Dr Williams also did that surgery. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose him. Norma

Thanks for the info......

Wondering about the scar tissure. Did you have open or lapiscoptic RNY?

My surgery was laproscopic...but remember scar tissue can happen with ANY surgery. I have never had a problem with scar tissue before this....and I have had my share of surgeries over the last few years....... Norma

Sandra, I'm not one of Dr. Williams patients but I will be having my surgery on April 17th @ Emory Johns Creek with Dr. Hart. Emory Johns Creek is brand new just opened up on Feb 5. From my experience there already they seems to be a great bunch of people working there. The hospital is very nice. If my surgery date is before yours I'll let you know when I get out how it was.

Thanks for the info..... I wish you an uneventful surgery along with a speedy recovery. Please keep me posted. Thanks, Sandra

Sandra, One more thing...a lot of the nursing staff etc came to Emory John's Creek from Emory Dunwoody (which is where I had my surgery...1st and 2nd). There nursing staff is totally wonderful....do remember good things about the 1st surgery (WLS), but remember more stuff about the 2nd surgery (the emergency one)...since I was basically hanging out all morning long waiting on my surgery....And be sure to take a shower in their shower room.......it is wonderful and to die for !!!!!
