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!

so how long is everyone taking off?

I'm taking two weeks... if I need more, I'll add some days. But I don't see it as necessary if all goes well because I have a desk job.

Miami, FL here!!

Hey Hey Now...that's My Home Town!!!

Yea i was surprised to but she is very good..i think she does sunday to.

so how long is everyone taking off?

I'm taking off 2 1/2 weeks maybe 3. But I'm a hairdresser at a very busy salon. I only get a break if there isn't a client so I decided I didn't want to go back till I was 100% again. Plus being that I'm the 17th I figured I would just go back after the kids go back.

My surgeon and his office seem confident I will have my surgery before the end of the year. I still have my psych eval and then final approval from my insurance company before I get an actual date. I am shooting for Dec 16 or 23 because I will be on Christmas break.

I am excited!

same boat as you. Coordinator is confidant I'll have end of year date and will submit to insurance beginning of December. Everything else is done

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! :)

E

did you get added to the group? If not give me your email so I can add you...nvm I have added you lol

I don't have an exact date yet, but my surgeon seems to think I shouldn't have any problem getting approved/surgery completed by the end of the year. I am a school teacher so if I am not able to get it done over the Christmas break, it will have to wait until summer. My last PSW visit is scheduled for 11/25 and I will hopefully hear from insurance within a few days since I already have completed all of the other requirements. I am 35 years old and current weight is 240. I have battled my weight FOREVER.
