Wow that is great! May I ask what was your presurgery weight? And what ate you doing to loose so fast?!

Who was your surgeon? Did you go through insurance or self pay? I have a consultation with Dr. Johnson on Tuesday and will be self pay. Am wondering about what kind of testing they require.

I'm in Athens & I was sleeved in ATL on June 19 by Dr. Macik at Northside. I'm down about 54 lbs (inc the 2 weeks on preop diet) and I feel great!

No surgery yet, but my surgeon is Dr. Michael Williams. I have a friendly acquaintance who referred me to him after having lap band surgery (from his retired partner) 6 or so years ago (before the sleeve was really popular in this area, I think). I am self-pay as well, so I didn't have the restrictions of an insurance company. I've recently been to the doctor for a regular annual visit, so I really didn't have to do any pre-op testing. No sleep studies, no blood work, no psychological visit (though I already regularly see a therapist)...nothing but what they will do at pre-op to make sure I'm good to go. I think this is something unique to self-payers. I know when going through insurance there are a lot more hoops to jump through.

When I went to my initial seminar, Dr. Johnson was leading it. He seemed very knowledgeable and is kind of a hottie:) I'm really excited. Initially I wasn't going to have my surgery at EJC, I was going to have it at Northside, which are both excellent hospitals (I qualified for a surgery center, but both hospitals were oddly less expensive). However, I was told that the facilities at EJC are so awesome and they have an entire dedicated floor to Gastric patients from their bariatric team, the approximate $400 difference didn't seem to be that much to get that kind of service.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
