Any Atlanta Ga sleevers???



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I don’t post much, but I often read a lot of problems people are experiencing. I wanted to know if there are any local sleevers here to converse with? I had me procedure 3/26/18 and things are still new for me, I also have my ups and downs. I must say some days I regret having this procedure and some days I think everything will be back normal soon ....if anyone have any hard times and have overcame them please share!!!

Hey! I’m an Atlanta sleever too - 3/14.

The only problem I’m currently having is that I’m not losing any weight. [emoji854]

I know if I keep up following the rules I will get down as I expected. I haven’t had regrets but have been in disbelief that I had my stomach cut out!

Whats going on with you? I think we just need to keep in mind that we are still pretty new out and our bodies are adjusting. Things really are going to be ok! [emoji3]

I am in Buckhead and like you, am still adjusting 3 months post-op. My BMI was not that high but the weight loss to date is slow but steady. It’s a mixed bag of emotions but I truly believe this surgery has improved my health, well being and life expectancy. Did tons of research, was pleased with my Doctor but had a less than stellar recovery. I am perplexed as my skin is excessively dry— the droopy skin is becoming pronounced but happy to say I am off BP meds. I track everything on Fitness Pal and host a Bariatric sharing community there. There’s about 60 of us sleevers experiencing this journey together.

I’ve gotten really dehydrated! I can’t tolerate much of anything, I try to drink Water, juice anything! I can only sip for the most part. Also I have a lot of pain and discomfort and it’s really aggravating! My BMI wasn’t that high either but I’ve lost 30 lbs already and I’m going slow now. I don’t get it at all [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
