Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There

[mandyMO 67]

I am a teacher so I am using Christmas break to recover. My date is December 26th. I am with Dr. Nicholson if Dallas. I start the diet on 12/12 but thankfully it's not straight liquids and I get 1 small meal per day, but no starches.

I'm so nervous and excited! I don't have any pre-op tests or anything until December 7th. I am thinking about the monthly support meeting even before the surgery. I am glad that I found the online.

I am to because we all have walked in the same shoes

Hi Mandy! I was actually putting on weight for quite a while because my band slipped and was no longer working...I had put on about 45 lbs since I had my son a little over 2 years ago. Due to my gall bladder issues I lost 17 lbs in about a month. Each time I had a gall bladder attack I just didn't eat for several days. I joked with my Dr that maybe I should just keep my gall bladder because it was helping me lose weight...lol. Since having my band removed I have gone back and forth between gaining and losing about 3 lbs. I am trying to stick to a high Protein diet and low fat but admittedly now that I can eat again I have just gone a little crazy eating junk. But I will go back to eating better after this weekend. My Dr doesn't want me to gain weight before surgery.

Hi Cadilex-

My surgery is Dec 4th with Dr. Davidson at Forest Park Medical Center.

[Cadilex 52]

Hello Amiee. Will you be at the Forest Park facility in Dallas or Frisco?

[Dcline 23]

So I have a question for all you Dec. sleever's ! Is there anything that you would like to do that you havent got to do while being heavy once you loose all your weight? This is probably silly but I have lot's of things i want to do like I love doing zumba and one of my goals next year as soon as I get enough weight off is i want to become a zumba instructer my second and this is the silly one the day my husband can pick me up with out any trouble !

Zumba is on my list, too.

Hey Cadilex-

In Dallas? How about you? My surgery is at 7:30, I figured the earlier the better since I'll be without coffee :-)

Get pregnant! I miss roller coasters and wearing my wedding band. Flying hurts because I try to hug myself so I don't spill over into someone else's seat and strange enough cleaning the house without having to stop and rest :-( it's a long list

I love to Zumba MandyMo, what a great goal!

December 12th for me tentatively. I've got one more doctors visit and then they will submit my paperwork but the surgical coordinator says she doesnt think I will get denied. i'm starting to get a little nervous though

I am 12/12/12 too!!! Don't get to worried about it... I was getting myself all worked up about it and then my approval came in less then a week! I am so excited now... I feel like it is getting so close and with Thanksgiving being only 2 weeks away then we will start all of our Christmas prep so I am hoping the next month goes by fast. I have all my pre-op testing on 11/15 and my EGD on 11/20... I am suppossed to start my pre-op diet a week before my SX date but I think I am going to start it sooner.
