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!!!! I cannot wait!!!

How about the January Jumpstarts?!

I'm so happy to see so many month buddies!

I just moved my surgery up one day to Jan 18th with Dr. Kelly. Anyone else being sleeved that day?

I am doing slimfast 3-2-1 for my liquid diet. What do you guys have to do for yours?

I have my appointment with the surgeon next week for final clearances and was told I should be able to have my surgery sometime around Jan 15th! I am so excited!!!!! I have been working toward this since June so I can't wait now that things seem to be moving forward!!!!

I'm on for Jan 25 th 2012!! What a great way to start off the new year with a new me. I will panic when it gets closer, have to surrive the holidays first. Good luck everyone!

My 2 week pre op diet consists of 4 protein shakes a day (2 with water and 2 with milk). Unlimited veggies from a list I was given. Then 6 choices from a list of 8 things (can't remember what they are now) tho I know oatmeal, V8 juice, light fat free yogert r on the list.

I am being sleeved on 1/25/12~!~ I am super excited, I have been trying for 3 years to lose the weight and for 2 years i have been researching WLS.. now it is almost at the end, which really will be the beginning and I am so excited!!

I am starting to get a bit worried and nervous though, I know this is only natural...

Anyone else Jan. 16 (Monday)?

My surgery date is January 10th... (5 days after my birthday) I'm soooo excited... Can't wait to be on the other side of this...

I'm scheduled on January 4th with Dr Webb in Jacksonville Florida. Any other sleevers on the 4th?? And more specifically, with Dr. Webb??

I'm going for Jan. 30. They called and said I could sch. it now, but I been saying end of Jan 1st of Feb. and thats what I have been working around and told my co workers. So I am thinking the 30th for Sure! Can't wait!!!!

Although I almost had a heart attack bc when they called to say I could sch. they said my out of pocket would be 8k...just my part!!! with insurance covering it!!! But then I went on my insurance site and it says if I used the facility that I actually work for the company it covers 80-20% plus my out of pocket max is 2500. So If all goes well and this is the real deal on my insurance I'm going for the 30th!!!! yayyyyy I'm so excited for all of us

I can't believe I am 2 weeks out and have my pre-op appt this Thurs. Today for the first time I got nervous butterflies just thinking about it! It is hitting me that this is REALLY happening!!

Question? I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I can not get my weight loss tickers to work with VST from tickerfactory.com. Any suggestions.
