GA Girl Best in the World

Awwhhh!!! Congrats ... doesn't that feel good .... it won't be long now till goal.....

thanks so much for this post ... i too i'm trying to decide on sleeve or plication and found this to be very informative ... plication is still so new... i like the success rate for the sleeve ... i'm self pay and can't afford to get this wrong... the word necrosis scares me and i never even thought about the suture cutting in the stomach if the stomach was to become large ... pro and cons to both surgeries .. i still researching and weighting it out for myself...

hi suz did you have a problem with acid reflux or heartburn post- op??? seems to be common with VSG per the post left by other sleevers ??? what about you??? any other sleeve related issues??? and yes I'm still on the fence about beening sleeved I have no health issues ... I just can't keep the weight off long term ... i'm 31... 5'3.. and 243 that currently at my heaviest... just worried ... about complication and such ... thanks so much in advance for answering my question

Wow!!! This has really become very ugly...

I have the same problem ... It's in my genes... even in my thinner days i didn't feel confident show my arms in public .... anyway .. well i'm not sleeved yet.... but knowing how I feel about my arm I been checking out compression garments on youtube and the one that consistly gets Great Reviews is made by slimpressions :thumb: .. check it out on youtube and/or go to there website !!! I hope this helps .. Good Luck!!!

New here and really glad I found this forum... 31 yo AA woman... Married with 2 very energetic boys 4 yo and 7 months I'm in the Augusta Ga area... Not sleeved just yet... Hoping to schedule sometime this summer, with dr Kelly in tijuanna Mexico... Like many of you researched lap band and decided to have the sleeve instead... I also have concerns about AA surgical scaring, hair loss, breast size, and body shape issues post op... Any how congrats ladies on your journey...lots of you are losing very encouraging numbers...

Congrats... You're on your way now... I'm not sleeved and no date just yet ( optimist) any how most people on here do very well on pre op diet... Some lose like 20 lbs on it... Just stay focused and remember we're here for support....

Hi, I'm looking into having Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy VSG. I have decide to have the surgery, but I need some help with picking the right Doctor for the right price. I'm paying Cash. I live in Augusta GA and would love to hear from anyone who is willing to share the VSG pre and post operation experience with me? I would love to hear from you if you've had a great experience and even if you had a bad one ... ALL help needed... Thanks ..

Found a website ... Compression garnets are price ..!!!! . But here's the site I found.. .http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product/compression_garments/index.vm . I haven't looked but possible these could be cheaper on amazon or eBay....

Sounds good to me ... My email address shermichael@yahoo.com .... Thanks Bunches!!!!
