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!

My official date is December 2nd!

Given the fact that we all will have or probably will have surgery this month, I am curious if anyone in the December group has a flu shot? Have you asked the surgeon? Has it been a topic of conversation? I wonder with the surgery, the post surgery diet and the weakened state if flu is a concern?

I have gotten a flu shot each of the last three years, wondering about this year?

I work for a hospital so it was mandatory. I already had mine last month. It wouldn't hurt to have one but I would ask your doc first just to make sure.

I got my flu shot, too and it was also mandatory. Probably a good idea to get it, our immune systems will take a beating with the surgery.

You flu shots are mandatory. I got a flu shot once and sick, I've never got one since.

My doctor always recommends the flu shot but I've always declined.

Congratulations Doopa and Nurse Bonnie!!!

I have been reading thru all comments looking for a 12/11 sleever! CONGRATS!

New me on the way

Welcome liciamarie...I also am 12/11. It's a very popular date! Best wishes to you!

To u as well :-)

Every time I look at our list I just go ! We have a large group but it will be so nice to share our experiences together.

I agree. For the longest time there was no action in the December 2013 area and now look at us! I love how almost everyone has at least one person going in on the same day.

There are people in the December sleevers? group who don't want to or don't understand how to click the link to join us over here! Every time someone posts, I post the link and invite them in. They keep replying to me back on that same thread?!

Maybe they will find us soon!

Hello all! I have been lurking for at least a month so I finally decided to join the group. I'm happy to be a fellow December sleever! My date is 12/16. I started the process in April and finished up the 6 month requirements with my PCP in Sept. Of course, there were some delays but insurance approval was received last week. I had to put off surgery till December because we already had a family vacation planned for Disney World during Thanksgiving week. Let the stress, anxiety, fun times begin!!!

Welcome to our group! It looks like you have 3 others on your same day so far!!

I will add you to our list! If you are on Facebook, Vixey started a secret Facebook group (doesn't show up on your feed for others to see). If you want to join, send her a message!
