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!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
