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.

Congratulations to all three of you ( Jlewis229, Look@meitsEmily, & SuiteV). Each of you will do wonderful! I was sleeved July 8th of last summer. I am down 100 lbs and summer is soooo much easier now that I have lost weight. You next summer will be the time of your life! I was sleeved by Dr. Macik here in Atlanta. If there is anything I can do to help any of you, just let me know. Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
