Congratulations to all three of you ( Jlewis229, Look@meitsEmily, & SuiteV). Each of you will do wonderful! I was sleeved July 8th of last summer. I am down 100 lbs and summer is soooo much easier now that I have lost weight. You next summer will be the time of your life! I was sleeved by Dr. Macik here in Atlanta. If there is anything I can do to help any of you, just let me know. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

GA Sleever too! My first appointment is July 19 with the Nutritionist. I am happy to have found this site. Anyone getting or has been sleeved in Atlanta?

Congrats to you both! Wouldn't it be so nice to have already had this surgery with the way the weather is?! It's soooo HOT!!! I have my nut and psych appointment next week! So excited

It sure would bc I am always so damn hot and sweating and I HATE IT!

it sucks horribly!!! but thank you very much. i have another thread "i definitely regret surgery..... so far" in the "tell your story" part of this site. i post often there

I am glad to hear that those who have had leaks are doing well. I had VS on July 8th, stomach ruptured on July 15th, and stayed in the hospital until Aug. 6th. I am home with a JP drain and a J tube for feeding. The doctor wanted to put a stint in but I was too afraid. I told him I was ok with the feeding tube because I just did not want to take a chance of the stint weakening any other tissue around it. I am on Clear liquids and go to the doctor of a check up tomorrow. Not sure when I will go back in for an upper GI to check to see if the leak has healed. I would guess one day in the next week or so.

I have been so depressed because I can't take care of my family. It is hard to just sit here on a feeding tube and watch life go by. At this point this surgery was the worst mistake I have ever made in my life. I pray that I feel different when I am all well and back to "normal." I am hanging in there but would love to talk to others who have been through the same thing.

Thank you all,
Hansi

Happy Saturday Firecrackers,
Please change my surgery date to July 29th. I got a call from Louise yesterday letting me know that the 28th was very full and asking if I could move my date back a day. I already bought my tickets to San Diego but have not purchased my return flight Louise offered to pay for extra night in San Diego so it's going to be a mini vacation without food!
Let's see, where would I rather be without food? In Texas with 100 degree plus temperatures or San Diego with temperatures in the 70's. One day plus or minus doesn't mean a lot to me so I said sure change me and I get a bonus! To go one better flights home are less on Monday so all in all this is saving me a chunk of money.
