Hello from North Ga.



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I live in North Ga. I went to Dr Daly at Northside. I was banded on July 2nd. The Hospital stay was great and they also have a support group there. I just love Dr Daly. He did my Mom's bypass surgery 8 years ago so I did not want to go to anyone else.:cool:

Congrats to you! I am from North Ga. I live in Ellijay, Ga. Very small town. I drive to Chattanooga TN. to see my Dr. He also has an office in Dalton, but because I was self pay I have to see him in Chattanooga. I do not go to the support groups they offer because it's too far away. Wish I could start a support group in my town....just a thought. I hope you do great on your journey...best of luck to you.

      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.

      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.
