I'm in Marietta which is not far

Hi Georgia, my name is Laurie , I live in Newnan, Ga I was sleeved 2/8/17 by Dr Procter. Anyone else live near by?

Hello! I am in Marietta, Ga. Scheduled for 6/3/15 with Dr. Jean-Pierre at Kennestone Hospital. Hoping there are some "sleevers" out there in the ATL area! "Can we talk!!!!!!!"

We have the same doctor

Yes I am haven't had the procedure yet though so far the team was pretty awesome! ????

Great!!! How are things going?

I was sleeved on 12/2/14.

I am amazed that your doctor told you to do that without working up to it. You do what your body allows you to.

Also, I am shocked at how fast you were told to start cardio. I was cleared at 6 weeks.

Same here

My surgery was 12/2/14

I've only lost 40 pounds.

Congratulations on your weigh loss.

What is your regiment?

I've been on the stall for weeks.

I am 4 months out and down 75 pounds. I am very happy with my progress. I weigh myself every morning (even though I probably shouldn't) and I have had a few stalls but not bad. I weighed myself Monday and skipped Tuesday. On Wednesday I was up 4 pounds when I weighed myself! I'm so confused! I am eating 700-900 calories a day. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? I usually go to the gym 3 times a week sometimes less though depending on work.

Girl I'm 4 months out too. Surgery was on 12/2/14. I haven't lost any weight in a month. I'm about to lose my mind. I'm working out 3 to 4 days a week and still not jumping pounds.

Do any of you sleeve buddies get a runny nose when you eat and get full or nearly get full? Every time I sit down to eat I have to have plenty of napkins handy. After eating about 2-3 oz. my nose begins to run. I do not have allergies and have no cold right now. I just started noticing this about a month ago when I started on more solid foods. I have watched this and realize that it is not just coincidental. It happens every meal that I take in 3-4 oz. of solid food.

Let me hear from you if you are the same. And--can anyone explain this? What does my nose have to do to with my sleeve?

My nose do the same thing I thought it was just me

You can always write to me, I usually check this site twice a day, if I'm not out of town. I was sleeved on 12/3/14, and am down 55 lbs, and I am 53. You can message me by clicking on my logo, if you want. So far you've done the best thing you can do for your body, and that is give it a future! Good luck to you!

I'm from Atlanta, Georgia sleeved on December 2, 2014 by Dr . Fritz Jean- Pierre

Sleeved 12/29, down 76 lbs, feeling energetic, my brain won't shut down when I need to sleep, I haven't been getting anywhere near my goal in Protein or Water the past two weeks, and my hair is falling out like crazy!! =/

I totally feel you!!! Hang in there.

I was born and raised in Greenville Ms. Sleeved in Atlanta Ga on 12/2/14

Doing great but at a stall right now. Ugh

Congrats to all the newcomers

I didn't realize Hair loss would be a problem. Eek!

Yes a serious problem!!! ????????????

Hi my surgical twin I am also december 2 lol

My hair is totally thinning like you

Say yours is. I have huge hair balls in the shower drain. It's worse than after having my babies.

I looked over the 5 day pouch jump start. It makes sense and there is a lot of great recipes. I googled it, but I believe someone has a link to it on here.

I too had a stall, about a month. I felt like giving up and that all my work and surgery was for nothing. I was super depressed and felt like a failure. But today I feel better and started dropping again.

Please send me an email or text 678-497-5820 or tamnic75@gmail.com Tammy

I have locs (dreadlocks) and my hair is thinning so bad. I'm taking my Vitamins every day as I was told. What do I need to do WLS FAMILY

Biotin pills and Jamaican Black Castor oil. Also decrease the frequency of your retwist. I only retwist every 4 - 6 weeks. Make sure you are getting in all your Protein as well.

I actually have some Jamaican Black Caster Oil. Started using it a few days ago. Not a good smell.

I feel this is a fake blog seeking attention!!

I was super blessed and my insurance paid for my lower body lift. They never pay and I was shocked when I got approved because even my surgeon said he couldn't remember the last one he got approved. He took 7 lbs of skin off and my little tiny waist and cute lifted fanny makes me happy. I bought all new lingerie, small in panties and 32 DD in bra. I'm thrilled with my new shape. I had a breast reduction in my 20s so I am lucky they are still in ok shape. My thighs aren't perfect but I can live with that and my arms never got fat. Lol. Plastics changed my life. I love buying clothes now and dreaded it even when I was at goal because the skin in my abdomen and back looked like an inner tube. Now I am flat with a cute lifted tush. Over the moon!

How long before you had plastic surgery done?

I was sleeved December 2nd so just over 2 months out. Down 36# since surgery and 62 # overall. Feeling really good, exercise is getting easier and my self esteem is starting to rebound! Best decision ever!!

I was also sleeved on 12/214

Down 40 something pounds

How is everyone doing?

I was sleeved on 12/2/14

Hello I was sleeved on 12/2/14 my hair is thinning like crazy also. I've lost 40 pounds and now at a stall. I'm seriously thinking about doing the 5day pouch reset tomorrow hoping that will jumpstart me.

Thanks All

@@tamtam75 My name is Tammy too ????????????

I had my surgery on December 2nd and have loss 18 pounds so far.

I haven't tried adding yogurt to my Protein Shakes but thinking about doing so. Congrats on your weigh loss so far.

My advice I wouldn't tell them. I've gotten a lot of negative comments from those I have told. TOTAL REGRET
