Topic: RE: What happens next?! Help Please
You will need to follow their protocol as far as getting all your clearances in. Hopefully their system has improved over these past few years. I got too frustrated trying to deal with them and changed practices early out. They had too many patients for me. I could never get a return call is email and when I did reach someone I got a runaround. I think the person I had to deal with in that office is no longer there. Thank goodness.

Topic: What happens next?! Help Please
Hi I am into my sixth doctors visit on Thurdays and then for me it is a waiting game as far as my clearences. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to prepare for the surgery? I am a nervous wreck and kind of excited. My surgery will be done by Dr. Titus Duncan's office so I know I am in good hands. so I just want to know where do I go from here?
Thanks.

Topic: RE: VSG in Mexico?
Hi,
I had RNY with Dr. Joya on 10-2-12. My experience was amazing and I never felt unsafe! I met Dr. Joya before and after surgery and each day I was in the hospital. He is a man of very few words but his 1st assistant, Dr. Espinoza is awesome - he checked on me twice a day and everyday I was at the resort. Some of my friends had issues with me going to Mexico for surgery but my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Ultimately, the decision is yours but if you have any questions, let me know.
Good Luck...I'll be prayiing for you and your recovery!

Topic: RE: Peachtree Surgical Center; Titus Duncan
I had gastric bypass surgey on May 21st 2012. My surgeon was Dr. Titus Duncan who is very friendly. My surgery went well and I haven't had any major complications. I have however had problems with Dr. Duncan's office staff. They take forever to return a call. Also, I was told to eat 60-80 grams of protein or I could have hair loss. I've been eating the recommended amount of protein but my hair is still falling out. I've called several times to speak to the nutritionist and finally got her. She tells me I have to eat no more than 20 grams of protein at a time because that's all the body can absorb. So, long story short most of my protein has not counted. I've been using a protein shake that is 60 grams of protein so I've been adding 20 grams. Therefore, I have only been absorbing 40 grams of protein. Thank goodness I found out before I went bald.

Topic: RE: Oh event at ATL
I live in Atlanta, about 10-15 minutes from the event. I had to work today so I'll be coming tomorrow morning (Saturday). I was debating on getting a room just to be around everyone else but I can't leave my dog over night so I guess I'll have to meet people while I'm there. Hope to see some of you guys there!

That is great news. You will LOVE him. He also knows Dr. Steinberg and Dr. Rashid well.
He is a wonderful doctor. Glad he takes your insurance....that is even better. Please take one of your family members with you so that he can explain it to you all at the same time. He is really going to take a substantial amount of time with you when you go. You will be very satisfied, I am sure.
I will PM you the code since it will take lpnger to put it in my signature line which is, where I believe it has to go.
Thanks
