Rather than keeping the old January (2011) thread resurrected, I thought it was about time to start a 2012 thread.

I'm scheduled for January 23, 2012, and just got my official insurance approval yesterday.

I am absolutely PUMPED about this surgery. I can't wait... I'm anticipating crazy nerves as it draws nearer, but for now, I'll ride the wave of excitement, thank you very much.

January 27th with Dr. Almanza! I'm so excited! My birthday is the 25th, which was when I was originally going to have the surgery, but I wanted my husband to be able to come with me so I changed it to the 27th I'm so excited I can't sit still! n2dvn - maybe we'll pass in the halls - me on my way in, you on your way out!

- oh and kicking myself for not keeping up on that 4 years of Spanish in high school - at least half of what i can remember will be useful - I can order a beer and ask for the bathroom

January 10th at MidState Medical Center in Meriden, Connecticut - Dr. Benbarhim!

Looking forward to staring the year off right!

I am Jan. 3 with Dr Ramos Kelly in TJ... even though the excitement of the holidays are here, I almost can't think of anything but my surgery.

I started my preop diet today and took all of my measurements.

UGHHH...I can't wait!!!

Anyone else headed to Mexico?

I haven't got my date yet, but all my paperwork was submitted for approval today. It's likely that I'll be part of your gang

Speaking of, we need a catchy gang name...

Like the july sleevers are the july firecrackers...

any ideas?

Brand new here, got my letter of approval from CIGNA today. Hoping to schedule between 12/26 - 1/9/12. So, i will most likely be a January 2012. I am so excited. Now, if this scheduler would just call me back :/

Congrats and welcome!

I'm "tentatively" scheduled for January 18th!!!! I just called my insurance and they said that the notes on the case stated "everything meets the criteria" so God willing they will be sending out my approval letter VERY soon!! PLEASE keep your fingers and toes crossed for me that everything goes by smoothly and QUICKLY!!

I can't wait to be sleeved in January!!!!!

Jan 19th - Dr. Ramos Kelly. Can't wait!!!

Congrats and welcome!

Thanks! I finally got a date- January 12, 2011. Pre-op is Jan 4. I cannot wait!!

Received my pre-op paperwork in the mail today! I have to go over to the hospital for labs after my pre-op appointment on Jan 5. Beyond that, I may have only liquids for 24 hours before and cut off food and drink entirely at midnight the night before. I'm so excited! January 9, here I come!

I am scheduled for January 18th. I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 5th. I was supposed to get it done in December, but none of the dates would have worked. We are moving into a new house and with Christmas, I know the date is going to creep up on me! Can't wait!

Looks like it's either the 11th or 25th depends on the surgeon. I hope to find out very soon. As much as I really want it done now so the 11th would be faster, my dh is out of the country that day and with the kids and hospital being over an hour and a half away I guess I'm hoping for the 25th. I'm so ready to have this done, but realize it's for the rest of my life. Patience is something I need to work on.

We might be sleeve twins!!!!

congrats on your new house, btw!!!

So anyone come up with a name for the January Sleevers??

Hi, I am scheduled for the sleeve on Jan. 16th. I have been a member since Nov. 2011 to this forum but my email and password was not working correctly anymore therefore I had to sign up as a new member. My old user name was jbauti5.

Now I have to work on my profile again.
