Georgia Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Well I have already changed Patient Advocates once...and now this new one won't return my emails! I sent her one last Monday and with no response I resent it to her on Thursday. As of this afternoon' date=' still no answer so I sent her another email and copied my surgeon. Hopefully he will make sure I get the information I need!

What really stinks is, I really like my surgeon! It's some of his staff that I can't stand! And it's not like I have been aggravating and calling none stop! The last time before that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago when I called about getting my sleep study set up.

Just getting totally frustrated with this process, but determined to fight to get this surgery to start a new healthier life![/quote']

If you've already answered this forgive me for asking but would you by any chance be working with an office in Atlanta? I feel like we have the same surgeon by your message!

Lol! No it's in Augusta, GA.

I did finally get a response today after copying the surgeon! She is waiting on my psych eval report and then she will be submitting the file to the insurance company!

I think so! Lol

I had to call the psychologist and have them forward the report to my PA. So now they have everything they need so hopefully they will be submitting my paperwork to the insurance soon!

Hey everybody! I'm in Athens, GA & getting sleeved with Dr. Macik in June. I'm just about finished with the pre op stuff & have been surprised to have enjoyed it as much as I did. Thought it would be a pain, but it's been good. Anybody else going to be a June baby?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
