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.

Dr.Macik did my sleeve Sept 26.

How have you done with your sleeve? How much weight have you lost? Are u happy with your results?

I was sleeved on the 18th of December I will be leaving the hospital today # Im hoping# The first night was extremely painful I mean it was unbearable and the nurse staff couldn't seem to find an antidote for my pain I didn't get "a pain pump inserted either" ???why I don't know?? but my

Dr decided to give me "Ketorolac" and Lorazapam seeing that the morphine didn't glad that this combination worked I'm feeling great #I know this is a bit of T.M.I.but I can't seem to "pass gas" my Dr keeps telling me that I have to, its just not happening...' oh well now I'm just waiting to be released by my Dr because I'm ready to go home now!

Thank you!

ok...I am pretty pissed right now. So I have been ccalling my Drs office for almost a week now regarding my clearance letter and there is always an excuse. We worked late the night before...we had a difficult patient yesterday....and now, the drs daughter is ill and we haven't heard from her since yesterday. I mean WTF. So now I am feeling like Im not in any hurry bc Im not going to get into surgery before the beginning of the year. I guess I get to live on this pre-op for a month plus. Ridiculous! WTF is wrong with people....no regard!

Gosh, I can feel your frustration and don't blame you at all. Keep calling them. Did they originally lead you to believe that you'd be sleeved before the end of 2012? Sounds like it if you are on your per op diet. So sorry but KEEP CALLING!

This happened to me. Call the office and ask for the practice manager. Tell him/ her your situation and all the preop stuff you have had to do to only be held up now. I had mine in two hours. Good luck!

I appreciate everyone's empathy. I will stay on top of them but have decided not to obsess and will just enjoy the holidays. Atlanta Bariatric is closing early starting today through the holidays so, Im just going to relax a bit.

Beauty - girl I went through the same with my primary and I had to make an appointment just for her to take the time to write my letter........sad but that's what I had to do. At least you can enjoy New Year's Eve. ((Hugs)))

Thanks so much Shay! Glad to hear that others have been through the same! Have a Merry Christmas!
