Surgery sleeve buddy needed ATL?



Recommended Posts

Hello all!! Well my date is fast approaching (Dec. 6th) . I'm starting to wonder if having a surgery pal might be helpful to anyone or for myself. It appears that the change is going to be both physically and emotionally taxing, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to have someone available who relates step by step. We can swap some diet stages recipes... Maybe even be a workout partner in the near future. Anyone else have a date set early December? Are you in the ATL Georgia area? I would love to find a surgery buddy!!! Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for responding. The closer it gets the more my nerves are getting the best. Ive started my pre op diet already.. Its rough! I'm hanging in there though. Im originally from FL (Tampa Bay) myself born and raised. I moved to ATL about 4 years ago. What part are you in?

Nice to hear back from you. I live in Hollywood fla, are you taking in all the liquids? Any cravings? I'm just happy I could eat popsicles, pudding, Jello. I plan to make my own Soup. I think I brought everything I need. I also brought stuff for reading on the sleeve. Keep on the good work and you will be fine.

I am even further away in the UK, BUT we are all here to support each other. For me when I had the dark days this forum and the people on it calmed my over active thoughts and took me back to a far happier place, for this I thank everyone who has helped. Don't forget you are definitely not alone on this journey to the new you. Good luck

Thanks... Im actually allowed the liquids and 1 small meal (3 oz meat, veggies) for dinner. But I'm craving everything!! Smh... My family keeps right on eating anything and everything they want. Its ok though, I'm learning a lot. I'm reading "The Emotional First + Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander. It's a pretty good book. Great to have the support!

My surgery date is December 7, and I live in Marietta, Ga. I am currently grappling with the headaches and diarrhea that the liquid diet is causing, How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Hello, I'm new to this forum, figured I'd join and have the opportunity to gain some friends who have been and are getting ready to go down the road on their Weight Loss Journey. I do live in the Atlanta Area, I have completed all the necessary steps for surgery, just currently waiting on a date from my doctor, which should be any day now. I'd love to join you and or a group of ladies on this journey. I have so many questions, plus my nervousness is taking over slightly. I pray to just find friends and encouragement.

Thanks A Bunch

      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. 🤞
