Hi Cathy!! I'm originally from Conyers and waiting on insurance approval so Dr. Macik can do my sleeve in October. He's doing my husband's on 9/18. Inbox me if you're looking for someone to talk to about this whole crazy process!

I just got cleared from the NUT, and hopefully will be cleared from the Psychiatrist today and approved by Friday through the endocronologist. The NUT told me to call her Friday and see if he signed off, and then I can make the appointment with Macik. I did go to the Orientation in August and was thinking of going to the support group in September at Northside. Macik said as soon as I get an appt with him, I can get scheduled in about 30 days, I really want an October date. Where do you live now, still in the Atlanta area??? Will be nice to have someone with the same surgeon to talk to!

      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. 🤞
