December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

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!

Good luck dec 10s! I'm not a part of that group any longer due to a sleep study I'm undergoing as I type this note. Hoping for dec 12 surg date once my primary clears me.

Good Luck to all my December 10th Sleevers !!!

Good luck to all the December 10's today.

Praying that all of Last weeks kick starters are doing gr8! Ive read some posts from a few of you and congrats! Keep up the good work and we are here to support you. Thx for all of the tips and tricks that you all have been able to post for us up and comers:) Have a gr8 day all!

I'm still very excited about mine! I find it so bizarre that I haven't eaten anything in 9 days! Four more to go and then surgery Friday!

Great News AtlantaRed, You deserve a Badge for Great Patience because of the long wait you have endured. Hope you have a uncomplicated surgery & recovery Friday. May you reach your dreams.

Take Care

Hi pals, I've been so busy with work, school & completing my pre surgery stuff that I didn't get a chance to check in. So please please please pray for me since everything is being forwarded to my insurance today. I am excited and happy. I wrote a nice letter to them since my BMI is a 37. My surgery is December 30 and I cannot wait until that day arrives :) . Hope everyone is doing ok.

I don't have to do a preop liquid thank god. When are u scheduled? Dec 30?

Holy moly did I have a bad night last night. I was doing GREAT...still so excited about my surgery which is tomorrow, and all of a sudden, it was like the floor fell out from below me, and I started getting extreme nausea and heart was racing, and I couldn't sleep (got about 2 hours).

I got my surgery time today and spoke with the nurse who called, who recommended I call my primary for an anti-anxiety medication - she had no problem calling in a script for me...but sheesh, I had no idea that would happen.

This time tomorrow I should be all done...with some extra anti-anxiety meds :)

Hang in there. It's a huge change and anxiety is understandable. You will be just fine. You've come too far to turn back now. Good luck tomorrow.

Well that's nice:). And yes, Dec 30th.

I was ecstatic when I was told I wouldn't need the preop and crushed when I was told I did afterall. It has been the BEST thing. I would not have believed how much more prepared I feel for this lifestyle change.
