Welcome to Georgia!  I am in the Gwinnett County area (Lawrenceville is the county seat).  Here are a few surgeons you could check out.  These are the surgeons used by most of the people at my support group.   There are several meetings available at EMory John's Creek Hospital. 

Dr. Christopher Hart
Dr. WIlliam Johnson
Dr. Paul Macik

If you look at the websites for Northside Hospital and Emory John's Creek Hospital and click on the link for Find a Doctor you can search by specialty.  It will give you a list of doctors that practice at these two hospitals.  I am sorry, I have no information for other hospitals in the area. 

If you have any other questions let us know!

I believe I have read that Dr. Steinberg accepts patients from other surgeons.  His office is at DeKalb Medical Center, about a 30 minute ride in light traffic.

You might also want to check Robert Richard, M.D., who heads a new bariatric program at Gwinnett Medical Center.

Many surgeons will not treat patients who have been operated on by other doctors so this make take some time and patience.

Best to you.  Please let us know how you make out.

Dr, Scott Steinberg is an excellent Doctor.  He is my Doctor.  He is in Decatur, Ga.  Not far from Lawrenceville.

His phone number is 404-501-7903.  Tell Shawna, or Eric that Deborah Turrell ask you to call for Dr. Steinberg.

Wish you luck.
