I live in stockbridge .. I had my sleeved done by Dr. Macik back on June 5, 2015

Welcome and congrats on your sleeve. . I had dr. Macik when I got my sleeved done last year June 2015... he is a great dr. Even though he don't talk much lol . Personally I don't really go to the support groups because I'm a shy person and this app really has given me alot of support and answer alot of my concerns. Feel free though to ask anything here:)

Soooo I'm at my 6 months post-op. I had my surgery done on June 5 2015... and I lost about 40-50% of hair .. sw 268 cw 195... I have been at a weight stall for about a month now .. I haven't been able to get out of 190s in a while ... I been trying to go back to doing liquids for bit amd watching my carbs but I'm stuck. Any suggestions? ?? I posted a pic of my before and current way I look .. hope that helps how my results went for everyone looking

Me too! I'm freaking out! Surgery was 6/12. I am down 75lbs, but getting super self conscious about my hair Took another 6 inches off on Saturday. I can't quite tell but I think my hair is coming out less. Most of my loss is in the front. I can actually see my scalp. I think I might be turning in to Homer Simpson. Weight loss has been good. Have loss close to 90 pounds. Had sleeve surgery on June 10th. Feel good, just need to exercise more. How is other "June Sleevers" doing? It really sucks my hair is thin already so when I started losing more hair I was getting depressed .. but my friend help me out with putting clip on extentions and it's making me feel more better and sexy ...

Hey I'm new to Ga , I live in the Roswell/Alpharetta area , I had my sleeve done back in 2013 in NYC , looking to connect to some sleevers in Ga as well welcome! !! How u like it down here ?

Hey!!! I'm yani!! From Atlanta I was sleeved on 6/5/2015 and so far I'm down 43lbs !!. I'm a mommy of 2 and am I feel great being able to be active with them and wear things I haven't been able to. I'm 25 and this had become a great rebirth at life .

Wow. 40 lbs in one month?! AMAZING! We are the same age too. I'm 2 months away from surgery and we are around the same starting weight (I'm currently 10 lbs heavier than you). How was your first month on liquids? Difficult? Any tips? the first month is a bit tricky and hard ... your mind starts to play games with you. Just have to really commit and focus. Do not try to eat anything !! It will hurt and make you sick !! Set an alarm on your phone to remind you to drink because once you have the sleeve your body tends to make you feel like your not thirsty or hungry. Try to mix up your protien shakes and liquids around so you don't get bored of having the same kind all the time. The first two weeks for me was fustrating because my mind wanted to eat something but you just got to fight it. And remember to walk walk walk ... them gases from surgery are still in the body so walking helps.

Soo I'm currently at a stall and I'm like obessed with my scale .. like every morning and night I get on it to weigh myself.... I need to throw that sucker out but I guess just seeing the difference in weight made me keep reassure myself that I'm not gaining anymore weight..... anyways I feel good though ... 40 lbs down and i have more energy and move more around. Though I guess my mind has playing around with me so I think I'm still big like before... :/

looking forward!!!!

I start at 268 and I'm tall 5'8 .. the two pre-op diet I weigh 265 the after 245..and of course I had the stall that everyone gets but ....currently I'm at 228 it's been 7 weeks since my sleeve. So a total of 40 lbs ... goal weight I'm shooting for is between 160-175lbs

don't be anxious , everything is going to be fine. You'll be a new and healthier you in no time.

I got mines done by dr. Macik and he did an excellent job and he very concerning. So far I lost 40 lbs and I had my sleeved done June 5, 2015

Hey everyone!! I'm yani and I'm 25 with 2 kids and I had my we've done June 5 2015. S.w was 268 and c.w. is 228. At first the sleeve diet was a bit challenging and I didn't like walking alot but after a while it gets better. I use my kids as weights lol which they seem to love me picking them up and being active with them. Just got to stay active , get your protien in, vitamins, and water, and eat healthy . It's a new and long journey and only positive things now should happen !!! Any questions about anything I'll be the gal to ask

omg congrats !!!!???? you are doing such a great job!!! I just got out of my weight stall and drop 4lbs (total weight lost of 37lbs) ... I need to put my progress pic on here but I'll do that later. But you are making so much progress and you look great. I had my sleeve done June 5th and I think I too have the iron sleeve . I been doing good and alot of house work and super cleaning and walking too.

I had my sleeved done June 5th .. I had to do the 2 week pre-op diet but didn't really do a good job at it. 2 weeks post op I had lost 25 ( s.w 268 ) but now 6 week post- op I'm down a total of 36lbs (c.w 232). In between though I had like a 3 week stall where I wasn't losing anything. I have been following somewhat the diet and been slacking on the walking but I have been working around the house and using my kids as weights lol to compensate for it. I'm 5'8 so my goal weight would be between 160-175lbs.
