Hi everyone! I live NW of Atlanta in Cartersville, Ga. I got my surgery date YESTERDAY! I will be having the sleeve on July 25th by Dr. Thomas Borland in New Iberia, LA. My best friend lives there and I need some help with someone taking care of me for about a week afterward and it worked out perfect that she lives within 20 mins of the Dr! I have never been so sure of something in my life as I am about this surgery. I am so ready to get this part of my life started that I just can't wait! Hope to hear from some people around Atlanta and hear about your experiences. Johnathan

For those of you that use this, I assume it is excellent because it is sold out! Do any of you that use it know when it will be back in stock? Thanks! Johnathan

I am so very sorry to hear you lost your partner! I always made my surgery known upfront! I don't want it to be an issue after I found someone and truthfully, if it is an issue, they don't really care about you, but I know it's very intimidating! Atlanta is an awful city to try to date in, men here are extremely vain! My boyfriend knew about my surgery upfront, knew my body wasn't as desirable as I wish it could be but, be said he thought I was cute then and now, so I knew it wasn't a problem! You can and will find another man, good luck!!!!

Haven't been on in a LONG TIME! I posted some new pics! For some reason they are all F*#K@D up as far as being upside down, etc and I have rotated them and saved them but they still revert back :-/ but you can rotate them to view them. Anyway just wanted to update and share my progress...I am down to 170! 5 lbs to my original goal! I'm thinking I may try to get to 160 though depending on how i feel/look at 165. Hope everyone is doing GREAT! Johnathan

In my profile under my gallery. My main pic is a new one.

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to make a quick post with my stats since it's been FOREVER since I've posted! I am currently 173, I am 101 down from when I had surgery 7/25/12. I've got 8 left to go until my personal goal of 165. <3 my sleeve! Hope everyone is doing well! Would love to hear from some of you I used to talk with a lot. Johnathan

Was looking through and had a question. Is testosterone stored on men's fat cells as well? It would explain why I always want to have sex lol. Sometimes I think I drive my boyfriend crazy Ha!

My last month is when I really started feeling really good about myself. Believe me, I don't discount it! Lol I tell everyone! Lol I don't care if they don't like or approve! I'm proud as hell and nobody will take that from me! But it's different for everyone. I'll talk to anyone about almost anything lol

GURRL! Idk how I would have reacted but I think i would have felt insulted. Actually I know I would. They have no business talking to patients about that sort of thing with patients! You did good though, I don't know if I could have kept my composure had I been told my sexuality is nasty.

Thank you! Just wait til u get close to goal! You'll feel so good about yourself! I'm much more confident than I've ever been! I want b*****s to look when I walk in somrwhere! Lol

You have to be on the main website, go to my profile and vote my albums/gallery.

Thank you! I posted some new pics btw!

Welcome tlj483 & Grek79Ital! Glad to see more guys on here! The board is pretty sporadic with posts, maybe it'll start being a little more lively! Johnathan Btw- since I haven't posted an update in quite some time, u started at 274, and am now down to 195 just 5 months later!! Only about 25ish to go!! Couldn't be happier to have made this decision!! Good luck to everyone that has just started out!

Had the seminar today, consult two weeks from today and should have a surgery date within a week of that(since its cash). Am really getting excited! I was hoping to find some patients of his (I know your out there! Lol) so that I can just hear your experiences with him and the staff. Anything that you think of? Does he require the liquid diet before? I didn't think to ask that today for some reason. I know he is a great Dr, as he's been doing this a long time and was one of the 20 to do the FDA trials, and his cash price is amazing at $10,999. Thanks for all your input! Johnathan

Just thought I would update. I started at 274 and am now at 198! Wow that feels good! I've lost 76 lbs since July 25th, that'll be 5 months on Christmas. Was really wanting 185 by first of year but I'm good with the track I'm on. I stalled for a Few weeks. And I hated it!! But it's over thankfully!
