Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

Oh also forgot to ask..any South Floridians??

Wow there's a lot of dec-sleevers!!!

I'm Dec 11th... don't forget me!

New me on the way

Some background...I'm 38 years old 5'4 and 243 lbs. I've got 3 kids (16 years old, 4 years old and 10 month old baby girl)...full time radio account executive so time is really never on my side lol. I've had 2 csections so I'm hoping the recovery/pain won't be as bad. Although I've always been very active and eaten pretty healthy I have always battled my weight. I truly feel like this surgery will help me be the healthier thinner person I've always felt I should be. I'm doing this fir my family and now especially my baby girl. My question us I've spoken to a few people who have had surgery and gave only taken 1-2 weeks off. I see a few people getting approval from work for a leave of absence. How much time are people planning on taking? I've slated 11 days...hoping this is enough. I can work at my desk during recovery. Fingers crossed...lol

December 17th is my date

Wow,,what an impressive list...

I am jealous of ANYONE having any time off from work! I have 2 part time jobs. One job, I only do twice a week and I know I will be able to take a week off from that (2 days). The other job, I work from home at the computer 4 hours a night 5 nights a week. I'm hoping ot have surgery on a Thursday and I'm going to have to try really hard to start back to work by Monday night, if not Sunday. Eek!

Wow,,what an impressive list...

Indeed and we are still a month+ away so I woner how many we'll be up to by then??

So happy to see so many December sleevers

Oh wow so fast! I had Lapband before and it was piece of cake. Hopefully this won't be too bad and you can go back that soon.

I had my gallbladder out last year and it was awful! Unfortunately the usual pain meds don't work for me. I'm assuming this will be similar since they are both laparoscopic and little holes and a bigger hole...etc.

Hopefully they will understand and maybe I can spread my work out throughout the day instead of trying to sit for 4 straight hours. Who knows, hope for the best and expect the worst, right?!!

Got all my paperwork submitted to insurance today! Now just waiting for the final approval for dec 9th.

I. Can't. Wait.

Hurry hurry December get here!

So exciting! I think it will be here pretty quickly! Will you get to enjoy Thanksgiving or will you be drinking your way through the day?

Has anyone started the pre-op liquid diet to "jump start" or will everyone wait for Dr's order?
