New here and need some buddy support from those of you in the Atlanta area or even anywhere in Georgia. Looking forward to chatting. I'm having sleeve surgery on Nov. 19th.

hi guys I am from East tn and hopefully moving to ATL (covington) in the spring I am almost complete with insurance requirments i have a month left before I get a date scheduled. so i am excited so would be great to make some friends before i move there that has same experiences.

I'm from Kennesaw my surgery date is Feb 18, 2014 at Mexico Bariatrics with Dr. Alejandro Lopex. So excited I've already started a protein diet and will start a pre op. diet on the 4th which is 2 protein drinks and a light meal. Unfortunately my BMI is to high 51.6 and you get charged an additional fee if it's not 49 or lower. I have around 20 lbs to lose. Ugh

Hi,

I had the surgery on December 2, 2013 and am looking for a buddy also.

Are there any guys in the Atlanta area that were sleeved?

I am in Adairsville (exit 306 on I75). Dr Scott did my sleeve surgery at Floyd hospital on 1/22/2014.

Dr. Scott did my surgery too! I'm in Rockmart, GA. I was sleeved on 7/17/2013.

That is great to hear Deena! It's only been five days for me but I am feeling pretty good. Any suggestions getting through this month?

Just take it slow and easy, try you best to get your protein in, and your water ( you will not get it all in at first). It's going to be sore getting up obviously you know that. Sleeping in a recliner helped me. Walking also helped. Keep your eye on the prize! It's a great journey! I was 281.2 on surgery day, today I am 211! Good luck!

That really is encouraging Deena, I get all the protein Cala called for and 40-50 ounces of water right now. I was really impressed with the experience so far.

Dr. Scott is nothing short if amazing! My 3rd favorite man behind my husband and my grandson! :-)

Hello everyone I'm from Conyers, GA will be sleeved in March. I'm super excited but equally nervous. I've just begun trying different protein drinks to have an idea of what I like and don't. My goodness this 6 months has just flown by.
