Checking in on my Atlanta people, how is everyone doing. My surgery was don by Dr. Steinberg at Dekalb, he and his program/team are fabulous. I am five months out and down 65 pounds.

I miss my sweets but not bad enough to eat them. I salivate when I see anything that looks like it could be sweet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sleeve was done robotically and I have not had one issue post op. My daughter is a surg tech and explained it to me as the best and least invasive way to go. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm turned 56 in October and was sleeved in January. Down from pushing a size 26 to a 14-16. Just starting to feel a difference with the 65 pounds down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I really needed this post! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was at the hospital doing my preop when my doctor's office called and asked if the could move my surgery from 2:30 to 12:30 because the patient before me cancelled at the last minute. Once the OR Is booked the surgeon tries make sure that they keep moving. You will be on that conveyor belt before you know it ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am a very private person. I told my family and one or two very close friends. I had my surgery in January and to date no one in my office knows anything outside of that fact that I had some abdominal surgery. It's just a very personal thing for me and not a subject that I want to talk about. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Amazing you look great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have always taken mine in the morning when I rise at 5:15. I am four months post op. My endo did tell me that he will be adjusting them as I loss weight. Today's no change but just had new blood work on Tuesday and will see next week if there is any change. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took a month off I wanted to adjust mentally and physical. I have a very stressful job.

@@Lexigurl82 fellow Georgia peach. I went through a divorce after 34 years of marriage and way before my surgery. The pain for you right now is incredible I know but keep putting one foot in front of the other and in time you will soar beyond your wildest dreams believe me.

You look amazing and have done a fantastic job. Keep doing you boo!

"Excuse you" would have been my response. She was really out of line from an employers stand point. Unfortunately I work in EEO law and all kinds of lights went off in my head.

Snellville here, surgery 1/12/16. Dr. Steinberg at Dekalb.

Okay I'm making chicken salad

Great article and I work for CDC and hadn't seen this.

For sure good for you

My daughter is a surgical tech and actually had assisted my surgeon in prior surgeries, she says that the staples are used for every thing. This article ties them to bariatrics when in fact they are used for several internal surgeries.

Man I'm so sorry to hear that. My surgical office has two dedicated nutritionist and they only deal with bariatric patients in the practice. I will see him throughout the next next year he's also available to me via email. Before I was discharged from the hospital he came to see me to make sure I understood what my diet would entail since it would be a week until I would see him again. I think all WLS programs should run this way. I never feel alone.

You will also receive a shot to relax you, talk to your anesthesiologist about your nervous right. As everyone stated they will take care of you.

I love that song
