This is so awesome! Make sure you join the December 2016 sleevers group... also would appreciate helping me out with this pet project...a Dec 2016 sleever calendar! It's free! Anyone here can post on it and view it so you can find an "accountabilaBuddy" or surgery twin. You don't need to create an account to post. Just use the URL to go to the calendar: https://teamup.com/ks5074f51794efefeb Click on your date Under Title: Put your MyBariatricPal user name Under Who: Put your actual name or name you pref your friends to call you Under Where: Put your location A few folks have already listed their dates. ⭐️ There are a lot of awesome people here!

@@OhHeyMarina, it looks good on the calendar so far...have you seen it? Do you want to organize the info you've collected on the calendar? you can totally post for others since you don't need an account to post. The posts are editable for 30 mins before it locks down.

@@Malin just north of Austin. Looks like you already have a surgery buddy. This looks good [emoji106]

I got this idea at work. How about we try a Dec 2016 team calendar. It's free! Anyone here can post on it and view it so you can find an "accountabilaBuddy" or surgery twin. You don't need to create an account to post. Just use the URL to go to the calendar: https://teamup.com/ks5074f51794efefeb *****Make sure you are looking at December 2016 and not November Click on your date Under Title: Put your MyBariatricPal user name Under Who: Put your actual name or name you pref your friends to call you Under Where: Put your location I figure if this works, then it would be a lot easier than scanning topics looking for your date. There are a lot of awesome people here!

@@LisaMergs - Don't have the words to describe how happy we are for you

It reads a smidge passive aggressive. Only Aggie knows for sure if this person meant it straight or in a PA sort of way.

Do you think it could be jealousy? It doesn't really sound like this person understands that nothing about all of this is easy. How long has this person been your friend? Perhaps they need a wide berth of space.

I have been dragging my feet on posting an introduction, so I apologize! My name is CC and I'm 38 female in Central Texas. I have committed to VSG surgery for December 15, 2016. I have always been bigger but not always overweight. I allowed people to tell me I was "too big" and I didn't protect my self esteem. I became complacent and lazy, and failed to address issues that led to being greatly overweight as I got older. The truth is I will always be big, but I desire to no longer be morbidly obese. I vow to never be over 400 lbs again, and I know there are others betting the challenge of higher #s in being overweight. Let me share some basic stats: Highest recorded weight:427 lbs Weight at 1st VSG consultation appmt: 412 lbs Current weight (as of 11/29/16) 388 lbs Height 6'4" (not an error, I am a very tall woman). My goal weight is 225 lbs. My surgery date is December 15th, 2016 for VSG. I know that I have a unique figure / stature, but I welcome connecting and sharing this special part of my journey with kindred spirits, no matter what your personal stats or background might be.

I'm thankful that I have this opportunity to change my life. I'm grateful I've found a place with kind, understanding people who can share part of this journey with me. I'm thankful for th love of friends and family, and having the chance to tell them how much they mean to me. Happy Thanksgiving!

Texas is hope to a lot of Bariatric surgeons, especially in the Houston and Dallas areas. My date is 12/15 but I'm in he Austin area. Safe travels to you !
