I'm excited to share that I was approved and my surgery date is December 10th! I was hoping to get it done sooner, but my surgeon is an avid deer hunter & hunting season is pretty much a holiday here in Wisconsin. Any other December sleevers out there? I started this journey back in April and I'm so excited to move forward. I will get to 'enjoy' Thanksgiving then start two weeks of Smartforme high protein food prior to surgery. The pre-op diet doesn't seem too bad, but no caffeine/diet coke will be a hard one!

Congrats to you time will go by fast so prepare!!! How long is your per-op diet?

Thanks! I will have to be on the high protein diet for two weeks prior to surgery, to help shrink the liver down. I'm very excited! I want to get everything ready for Xmas beforehand so I don't stress out while recovering.

I'm Dec 10th too. Congrats 49 days away

I'm also December 10th! Nervous, but anxious and ready!

Where abouts in Wisconsin are you? I'm from LaCrosse.

I am on December 18th!!! Congrats and good Luck.

I'm live in northern WI, in the minocqua area, but my surgery will be done at Aspirus in Wausau. I'm so excited, I turn 40 next year, and look forward to the next 40 years as a healthier version of me!

Hi! My surgery isn't scheduled yet (that will be done at my nutrition appt on Nov. 5th), but my doctor said we could do it sometime in Dec. I'm from Rhinelander and am going thru Ministry in Steven's Point. Good luck on your journey!!
