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!

so how long is everyone taking off?

My surgery is on a Wednesday. I will take the rest of that week and the full next week off.

I've tried to contact Vixey 3 different ways and I'm not getting thru?!?!

Vixey if you read this...how can I be added?

Thanks!

Somewhere in this thread, a couple of pages back, I think she posted a link. Also, today, she made a thread. Maybe search her profile and click on her 'theads' or do a search for facebook (that's in the title).

Yay! Yours is on the most popular day in December! There are a lot of you! I will update our list sometime this weekend!

so how long is everyone taking off?

I have 2 jobs. One job, a nanny, I only women 2 days a week and I will take one week off there.

The other job, I work at my computer 4 hours a night. I will be lucky to get 2 nights off starting postop day #3 or 4.

Hi Beth, I am a fellow December 11th buddy! Welcome to the group!

My surgery is on a Wednesday. I will take the rest of that week and the full next week off.

I'm not taking any time off. My job is not strenous or physically demanding. I plan on watching movies all shift with the residents.

My surgery is on Monday (12-16) and I plan to take that whole week off and work just half a day the following Monday. I'll be off Tues & Wed for Christmas. I have a desk job so I'm hoping this is plenty of time!

if you want you can send me a friend request and I'll add you my email is asousley@hotmail.com.

Hi all!

I WAS APPROVED BY INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First submission, and it was approved a week later. I called every day! Now just waiting for the hospital scheduler to call and set up my surgery date, and get my pre-op labs taken care of! SO EXCITED TO BE SLEEVED IN 2013!

I'm still not sure of I'm a Nov or Dec sleeve date, but 90% sure Dec. I'm so excited. I've been considering WLS seriously for 8 years! I've tried all I could on my own, and I'm done struggling. It's time to live a new life. Glad to be here, and would love to be added to the Facebook group: lissavsg@gmail.com.

I am also hoping for a December date. I was initially scheduled for 12/3 but have to switch surgeons. I go see my new surgeon'On the 13th and should get my date then

wow' date=' we need more peeps!! There has got to be more getting sleeved in Dec...come on people..lol I am 36 and have not always been heavy. I was thin my whole child hood through my mid 20's. I gained weight slowly thanks to depression and bad relationships. I slowly began to hate myself and the way I looked and felt helpless. I tried every diet imaginable and succeeded at some but always gained the weight back. I would gain more back at times too, becoming even heavier than I was before I dieted! Now that I am older it is harder to even lose 20lbs, and when I do lose I don't even drop a pant size which is upsetting and makes it hard to stick to a diet. I discovered weight loss surgery and prayed that I would qualify and after jumping through many hoops in the circus of doc appts and insurance I was finally approved and my surgery date is December 13!!! I simply can not wait! I am trying to stock up on things I will need before I go in so that when I get home life will be a little easier! Thanks and good luck to you all and I hope we get more Dec sleevers!!
