Live in Atlanta and headed to Mexico for my surgery with Dr Alvarez on June 11th. Would be very interested to know of local support group suggestions.

Thanks!

NW Georgia sleever here! I just started the process... looks like it will be October once appointments are finished and insurance is approved. Has anyone used Dr. J. Ryland Scott? I really like him, I don't know anyone who has had surgery done by him though.

Hey you'll - count me in! I'm hoping for a June surgery too. As of today' date=' all of my records are in at the surgeon's office. I have a tentative date scheduled and my paperwork is going to insurance on Monday.

We're going to have to post some strategies for passing by all the GA rib joints, krispy cremes, and fish frys after surgery. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modern/tongue_smilie.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup1:' />[/quote']

I'm so glad you have made request for strategies!

I have three kids and a husband and it's going to be hard to cook and not eat. Help!!

I'm also glad to see some fellow GA sleevers.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
