My surgery date is December 7th. Anyone scheduled on or near that date? I figure I'll be able to decorate the house and do my shopping beforehand, then be in pretty good shape by the time Christmas rolls around.

D'oh, I'm the only one who'll be on a 2 week liquid diet during Christmas?

I have to watch my family fill their faces with turkey, dressing and desserts.

Nope DougNichols- You aren't the only one! I will be right there with you. But, I think the excitment of my life being changed for the better is a little bit of an encouragement. My surgery date is December 27th.

Good luck! Just keep that nervous energy working in your favor!

I was bored.

Nothing fancy. But, hey! it's the thought lol

I got mine 12/14 and no complaints here. Just debating on if I should start the full liquids Sat/Sun like they recommended or wait a little longer. Thoughts?

I'm getting sleeved on the 27th.... so DougNichols, I too will be on my liquid diet during Christmas!!!

Thanks. I found it. And, was like AW! I love it!

Whoohoo for December 20th!

I can't. I thought I was pre occupied BEFORE. Oh my gosh. It's far worse. All I can think about is surgery.

Like, what to do before surgery? What will I need? What do I need to do?? LOL

My surgery got bumped to December 27 due to my lovely insurance company, but at least I am still a December sleever! Good luck Monday!

Me too! It will be hard to do the liquid diet with all of my family's great treats, but at least it is for a good cause!

Awh, Becca! I am sorry! But. at least you're still getting it in a SOMEWHAT timely fashion!!

thank you

I was sleeved on December 14th. The first couple of days were a bit rough, but everything seems to be evening out now. Every day gets better!!! Good luck to all my December sleeve sisters and brothers!!!

Lila, I am now getting sleeved by Cirangle on Tuesday. How has your recovery been???

Hi Alexis,

Wow, that's great. Dr. Cirangle is a really experienced surgeon, and I think you'll be in GREAT hands! Also, I assume you'll be at CPMC, the staff there are SOOOO nice. People were really kind and supportive, and I felt well taken care of.

My recovery is going really well!! The first couple of days were kind of tough (mostly because I was a bit nauseous and bloated from the gas, not really about the pain), but after that, things have been going like gangbusters. It's truly hard to believe I have a major surgery two weeks ago. I have had no problems drinking my Water, or getting in my Protein. I've had good energy, and I only took the meds for about 4 days. I might have taken them for an even shorter period, but I was a little paranoid about pain. My incisions are healing really well, and I'm feeling really good. I hope things go GREAT for you! I'll be thinking of you!

I was sleeved on Dec 7th too. We are almost the same. My starting weight was 202 and I am at 187. I'm down 15 lbs. I say congrats to us! Here's to a skinny 2011!

My surgery is Dec. 10th

I havent gotten anything to get ready either I'm to excited about it.
