I was sleeved 4 years ago. Lost 130 lbs but have gained 30 back over the last few years. I would be interested in attending some sort of support group in this area if one were to be established.

This is off topic to your question, but I'm not sure where else I might ask. How did you choose your surgeon? I am looking in to Dr. Smith in Marietta, and Dr. Johnson in Suwanee was also recommended. I did look at the surgeon reviews, there is just so much info. I would love to hear your opinions and how you chose your doctors. Your input would be greatly appreciated. I am new to the site, so if there is a better way to gather local opinions/info from others please let me know. Thanks so much!

I was sleeved by Dr. Smith almost 2 years ago. Fantastic surgeon, staff, and facilities. He gave me the best foundation to succeed in changing my life.

He was the only surgeon I had a consultation with. I knew right away he was the best choice for me. I think meeting them and their staff is the most important step.

Good luck!

Are there support meetings in the Alpharetta, GA area? I moved to North Fulton a couple of years ago from Central Florida. I would really like to attend meetings once again as I have gotten off track.

      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.
