Anyone from Ga? Would like to make some local Ga friends.

Hi! I'm from Ga! I was sleeved Nov 21. Feeling awesome! Had a hard time the very first night of surgery but have been great since then! I'm from south Atlanta in Senoia, it's close to Peachtree City.

I'm doing good! The first night was horrible for me. I'm not gonna lie. But the next day I woke up and it was so much better! Never had a ton of pain. Took the meds when I got home at night. If I had a pain here or there I took Tylenol. I haven't really found anything I can tolerate which is a blessing. Just trying to get my liquids and protein! It's awesome! You will do great!!

That's awesome! I'm just nervous about being put to sleep. This will be my first time having any major surgery. Honestly I can't wait! I've heard about the crazy trapped gas stories too! I'm praying for nothing but success! I'm glad you are coming along greatly! I'm starting my 2 week diet today and I heard that's just loads of fun!! Lol

I was terrified of the gas pain! I never had any at all! I had some vomiting the first night which might have gotten all the air out but no gas pains like I was scared of! It's been easy peasy since that first night!

I'm in Marietta - will have the Sleeve this Wednesday - No Turkey Day for me. I am getting super nervous (not to mention hungry since I'm on liquids only).

How is it going since surgery? Can't wait till I have my procedure done..just want it out the way..6 months diet is a pain.

Wow...I'm so amazed at the list of things ppl have to do before they get approved. I'm so happy my ins company didn't ask for all of that. Also I'm in Stockbridge.

Reallly wish insurance would do away with the 6 months process/ wait :-(

I'm in Bartow County. I had my sleeve on the 4th.

I'm in Forest Park. I haven't been sleeved yet. My last group appointment is this Wednesday and I should get my clearance from the doctor so my paperwork can be submitted to insurance company. I was told I could be sleeved before the month is out or the first of January.

Hello Ga. Peaches!!! I am now on the loser bench. I was sleeved on the 17. I must be honest and say the pain was so bad and still is that I was starting to regret I had done this to myself. I've had two c sections and the sleeve was worst. On the pre op I had lost 15 pounds, which was GOOD I cheated a little on that. I would have one small salad with chicken and light dressing from chick fil a, but still had my protein shake twice a day. For those that are still waiting to get sleeved, walking does help move the gas out. You may only burp instead of passing gas, so brace yourself when you burp because even that small burp is going to hurt. Everyone is different but this is major surgery so there will be pain. Don't go in thinking I'm going to bounce back once I wake up in recovery.

Good luck!!!
