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!

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!

Michele in PA

Wishing you lots and lots of luck!

Hey everyone I just wanted to let y'all know I had to move my date to January because of my job

No problem! You can still follow along with us since we're so close (or until a January 2014 group pops up)!

Well, I was able to move up my Upper GI (he said I could have EGD or Upper GI) so I will have upper GI and ekg Monday, and then they can schedule it. His office said they have "several" days open in December. I just want "my" date open in December! Lol.

Had my Upper GI this morning. Officially I'm clean but the Dr said they debated for a while as to whether or not I have a hiatal hernia.

Meanwhile I'm telling everyone in my office that they found a HH which sets the stage for my cover up story.

Andrew

I may have one too and that is definitely my story as well!

Hoping that your day is open so we can be surgery twins!

Me too! Not as popular of a date! Lol.

Dec. 18th for me!

Welcome, Amy! I will add you to the list when I get home!

Also, if you want to join a secret Facebook page, vixey set one up and you can message her.

I just sent a message to my boss telling him I am getting hiatal hernia surgery

The great hiatal hernia epidemic of 2013!

I hope that I will be a December sleever. My pre op labs showed I have an h pylori infection. Who knew?? Never even heard of it. I was horrified when I read about it and how it spreads. I don't know how I got it or how long I've had it...just know I want it gone. Dr had me give a stool sample to be sure but I'll bet my last Twinkie that I'll have to go on antibiotics for two weeks to get rid of it. Everyone seems to get sick from the meds. Once I am clear from h pylori, I'm ready for surgery. Anyone else have this problem?

my insurance is so weird. the only things they require is a drug test including nicotine, the 6 month supervised weigh ins and type 2 diabetes. luckily I don't smoke and the hospital has me in their computer as controlled diabetes.

My Official surgery date is December 13 and got confirmation all is good. I was supposed to have it at the end of Jan but I was bumped up which is really exciting. Now I have to start preparing my protein and liquid diet. Just wondering what protein drinks are the best out there?
