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!

Tentatively set for Dec 30 have cleared all testing but an upper gi which is soon. 38yr old 5'1 260lbs

I too was always thin - at 12 weeks pregnant with my first child I was a mere 112lbs - I ended up gaining 68lbs. Lost most of it and 4 yrs later had my 2nd child gained a lot again didn't lose much after and 16 months later had my last child - the excess weight NEVER came off. I have contemplated WLS for years and finally just said "I'm doing it"

I actually should have had it back in October but my mom had such a hard time with it that I postponed it - i can happily say I now have her support and look forward to my surgery!!!

Welcome to the group! I think there is one other person so far with that date as well!

Looking forward to all of us having such a wonderful new year!

Thank you so much AtlantaRed for doing such a great job on the December list! It's so neat to see the list grow and grow!

Just got approved for December 2nd, so excited!

My official date is December 2nd!

WooHoo! 2 more Dec. 2's! That's my date too! Congrats on getting this far and I hope all goes well for you!

Can friends see that I've joined the group? I haven't decided if I want to tell people about getting surgery.

No they can't! The great thing about secret groups is no one can see your activity. They can't see that you joined or posted or anything!

I haven't told many people either (my family outside of my home) and they are on Facebook too.

AtlantaRed - I have tentatively scheduled for Dec. 3rd pending my approval (which I should know very soon). But, the surgeon said I could go ahead and pick a date so I chose that one.....the day after my birthday!

Yay! So exciting to have a date! What a great birthday and Christmas present all rolled into one!

Yes - it's very exciting to have a date and begin this new chapter.

Happy Halloween ...more importantly to me, today is the day of my bariatric review board meeting. Everything gets submitted to insurance tomorrow. All preop appointments are scheduled. Fingers crossed and wish me luck!
