Well, December 14th was a bust. Got to the hospital,(1 hour 15 minutes away) got in the hospital gown, waited til surgery time, and THEN the hospital told the Dr that there were no beds! He was as upset as I was. So home again I went....... now I don't know when it will be. [emoji20]

I went in in August for a sleeve, but when the Dr got in there he found a massive haital hernia. 1/3 of my stomach was sucked into my chest. He fixed that and I started the waiting game, again... just got my new date! December 14th. I'm so ready. I started this journey in July 2021. Anyway, what a way to close 2022!

I kept getting pushed back too. You must be feeling so disappointed after doing all that prep work too! Just think of when you do get the surgery you lock out all the weight you have already lost. The surgery as a lock sustained me through many bumps in the road. You’ll get there. Have a proper cry then Keep loosing weight to beat that lock out and make the loss more sustainable. You got this. Covid/RSV/ flu can’t beat you!

Mines on the 14th. I'm so super excited. Been on liquids for about a week. My dr doesn't require that long but I don't want any problems. Tomorrow is Water day then surgery. Woo hoo!!! I'm sooo happy for you as well. Good luck to you!!!

There is such a thing and some of the new fangled ones I hear even keep track of your weight and what you've lost or gained. [emoji38]

All these things written are of interest to me. Me sleeve is scheduled for December 14th, I'm 64 and have a difibrillator. My lupus has damaged my heart. So I hope in to my cardiologist every 3 months to have my defibrillator checked and to see my Dr. Then yearly for the nuclear stress test, echo, and the rest. All my specialists as well as my PCP feel this needs to be done as an emergency for my health. I didn't know Medicare would pay or I would have looked into it earlier. But here I am now. Ready, most definitely willing, and very eager!

Been waiting since July 2021. My date for the sleeve is December 14th 2022. I am so thrilled! And ready. I've lost 40 lbs in that time. It seems sizable to some but not near enough for my health. That's why the sleeve. And I have so much support, and so much encouragement. It makes me feel very special. Anybody else out there in december???

Thanks everyone I’m really excited.
I’m going to try and prep some nice purée. Meals to try over the holidays so I have something to go to.
glad to hear that are others having December surgery happy Christmas to us!! ❤️‍🩹

Yes it is. It's been since June of 2021 I've been waiting and jumping thru the hoops. It was very disappointing in August that it wasn't done but necessary. So I've just been trying to be patient.

I'm so ready for this. I was scheduled for August 16th for the sleeve but when they got in there the Dr found a massive haital hernia. So it took priority and now it's almost healed. They said November surgery. Just called the Dr's office and they said they'll have the scheduler get hold of me. Yay!!!
