Hi! Surgery was 8/4. Just now starting with solids. Dr. Hart at Atlanta Bariatrics was my surgeon. Located in Cobb County. . Would love to make some friends here that are going through the same things as me!!

Hello Everyone! I have my very first appointment in Macon with Dr. Danny Vaughn coming up November 2nd. I want the gastric sleeve and i'm excited and anxious because of all the insurance hoops! I have BCBS of GA and I know there are 6 months ahead of me.. but my BMI is right at 41- it would be great if I could try to lose some weight ahead of time in the next 6 months but i'm afraid any drop below that "approval weight" will get me denied! I'm excited though and feel more hope than I have in a long time that a healthy life is possible! Feels nuts because I haven't had the appointment yet, but i'm excited. Hope all you other
GA sleeve patients are doing good.

Any one who knows what the office is like at Dr. Vaughn's office - Please help with any info! I have heard some offices even deduct two pounds from your weigh in for 'clothes weight' or some offices don't count the first visit towards the 6 months of visits. I have no idea what to expect!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
