Welcome to the family ???? I'm about 3o mins from stone mountain .. I recently had my sleeve done back in June 5 2015 .. so far it's a learning process and patience is key and got to committed to. Good luck with all your testing and procedure when you get it done. Feel free to ask anything on here or message people. Support is key. God bless.

@@AllisonK1986 You can DEFINITELY lose 100+ pounds with the sleeve!! I'm 5'7 and have lost that much the first six months. I haven't been the perfect sleever, BUT I recognized what I needed to do to be successful for myself which included getting help with a therapist who specializes in Bariatric patients. It's not been easy. However, I would do it a thousand times over if need be. Also, I will caution that you can't compare yourself to other VSG'ers. I think everyone's post should come with a warning that "these results are not typical." Lol Otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy. I've been lucky and know the last 20 pounds are going to be hard to get to goal. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding the process.

Hi! I'm in the Atlanta area too--I live in Brookhaven, so between Chamblee, Buckhead, Dunwoody, and Sandy Springs. I'm looking to have a sleeve done at Northside Hospital, which is the closest hospital to me,

I was sleeved June 12 at Northside with Dr. Michael Williams. I live in Roswell. :)

I'm looking to be sleeved at Northside too. I live in Brookhaven, and my parents are just down the road in Sandy Springs, so it makes sense to check out doing it at Northside first. I have an appointment with Dr. Paul Macik next week.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
