Topic: New member saying hi to GA folks :)
Just wanted to say hi to everyone in GA area

I'm 1 month post-op, over 55lbs down so far... although I had a lot to start with :)

Does anyone attend any support groups in the marietta area? I attend the monthly meetings at North Side Hospital on 2nd Thursdays of the month. Was wondering if anyone has good experiences elsewhere.

Have you checked with your insurance? I have UHC and they offer assistance with out of state WLS (at least my plan does).

That's great news.  I am happy for you.  I said last week that if I could ever afford to have the surgery, my arms would have to be number 1.  There are so many sleeveless dresses, tops, blouses.......glad you will be able to show those arms off once you have healed.

What is the normal "down time" following this type of surgery?

HW 240/ SW 229/ GW 146/CW 125; OH Support Group Leader   

Starting size:  18W-20;  Present size: 0 or 2; 5'5-1/2" tall. 
Current BMI 20.4 as of 2/13/2013 (normal for the first time in my life).
Goal weight reached on 8/12/2010; As of 1/13/2013, 21 pounds below goal

Congratulations on getting this done.  I know there is not much I can do for mine except surgery which probably won't happen, but it is better than where I was before WLS.

WOW, I think your arms are looking great from the last picture that you posted.

Hi Amanda & Beverly,

I too am from Dallas.  I am 2 days away from my surgery and I'm ready to get on with it!  :o)  I've been attending a support group but it is in Alpharetta!  I work in Atlanta so I just go straight from work.  I've also attended one at Northside Hospital but it (to me) was more like a seminar than a support group.  I am not at all opposed to attending one here locally!  If you two hear of anything near Dallas, please let me know!

I look forward to getting to know you both more.

Thanks for your support. I know you would understand. I am glad you are so young and your skin bounced back so wonderfully! Your most recent pics were grand!

I went for follow up today. Posting pics in my photos.
(Warning!!! Only 5 days out. Not pretty!)

But I can shower now! Yea!

I'm sooo sorry for your complications....If I had the sick days to donate I surely would. I guess all you can do is keep the faith and know that around here there will not be "any I told ya so" around here

Keep the Faith
