There may already be a January 2011 Group on here somewhere and if so i will delete this one and join. But just in case, I thought I would start one so that those of use getting sleeved next months can become and stay connected.

About me....

I am 40 year old single mom of a 9 year old son. i recently hit 300 pounds, which I have been trying to avoid for a few years now.

I made a decision to get a LapBand at the beginning of this month. As I explored that decision, I decided to go with the Sleeve instead.

I have completed my sleep studies (Yep, got to go in twice! Last one last night...with a CPAP), I've had my psych eval, and I had my consult. I am self pay so it all seems to be moving so quickly and smoothly. I really feel for those who have to deal with insurance. I truly wish it were easier for you.

I cannot tell you the feeling I felt yesterday when I got the call with my date. January 13!

I am going on a cruise with family for Christmas and spending New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with my son in Orlando. We get back on January 2 and then I have my pre-op appointment on the 3. I will start my 10 day pre-op diet and then before I know it THE DAY will be here.

I hope there are a lot of January 2011 Sleevers out there!

My sleeve surgery is happening 9 AM tomorrow at the Cleveland Clinic. January 7. A day that will live in infamy as far as the local McDonald's is concerned.

LOL good luck tomorrow!

I am now on the losers bench! Sleeved yesterday and pretty out of it all day. Had some nausea earlier today but got meds to help and feel pretty good now! Dr Aceves & staff are great, so nice and helpful and professional. Hospital is very nice, as is my room. Met a couple of fellow slivers who are lovely. No complaints whatsoever! I couldn't ask for a better experience overall!
