No, my mother is against it, even if some doctors in Mexico are beyond qualified. But I only have to wait until October for my insurance to give me more info then November is my last month of the six months of a supervised diet :)

Hi December Sleevers! My name is Jen. I am in NJ and I am scheduled for surgery on 12/10 with Dr Abkin! I have the Lap band right now but am scheduled to get it removed on 10/12 along with my gall bladder. I have had the band for 4 years and now it has slipped. The more I read and research about the sleeve it just seems like the way to go. I lost a lot of weight with the band but now I am gaining again. I'm hoping the sleeve is the way to go. I was lucky in that my insurance is covering the removal of the band and the revision to sleeve because of the band slip. I just got my approval from the insurance company the other day and I am super excited!

For me, it seems like I have not time until the date of surgery. I have so much to do and only a few days to get it done! It will sneak up on you and then guess what...anxiety from all the time that has lapsed. I have to get it together.

So to all my December Sleeve Sisters and Brothers...let's get it!

Just got my date- December 17. I am excited, but terrified, too.

I'm hoping we will be sleeve twins! I'm aiming for Dec 17th as well :D

I thought about doing 12/12/12, bc that would've been my mom's 53rd bday, but if i want to get disability pay from work, I have to be out of work (using my own "sick time" 1st) by the 7th. So, I'm hoping for 12/6/12 (I'm kind of a #'s OCD-er haha)

Happy to be here with you all!! :}

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
