How's everybody doing? I know I posted somewhere on this thread a few months ago, but it's been quite awhile. I'm in Athens & was sleeved on June 19 by Dr. Macik at Northside. I hit my halfway goal of 70 lbs down yesterday. :D

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum, I had my sleeve done March 2012 I've lost about 96 pounds but would like to lose another 25 to 30 lbs. live in Lawrenceville, GA. I probably should have lost all my weight by now but I haven't been eating right and not exercising. I want to get back to basics but its just a little different once you start going back to your old habits. Anyone live in the Lawrenceville area want to pair up and maybe exercise and just have a friend to talk to?

Hey everyone I live in the Atlanta area took and I was sleeved nov 5 today makes me a week out lol happy to be on soft foods

My husband was sleeved by Dr. Macik 9 weeks ago. He's not on here but if you want to email him, I can see if he'd be cool with that.

how are you doing?

how are you doing?

I'm in decent pain. Pain meds don't generally work for me like they do most people. If I'm still, almost no pain. Getting up and down, terrible pain! Buy, I'm unusual, so don't let me scare you! Otherwise, I'm getting fluids in easily and not hungry at all. Down 21 pounds, 15 preop.

I hope the pain goes away very soon!

Thanks. Going to doc tomorrow to see if he will try something else.
