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!

Add me for December 10th... So excited... We ste all gonna do great!!!

Hi Tami j, I am trying to do just that-anything to keep me distracted!! Had an early Thanksgiving dinner her Saturday since we will be gone. We actually have a big family vacation planned for Thanksgiving week to Disney World! The trip is part of why I had to have surgery in Dec. I know things will work out. I have faith & a lot of prayers!

MGR, Disney sounds so fun! I'm sure you will have a great time with family!

Here's what I have in my manual about vitamins:

Breakfast:

multivitamin

Vitamin D if needed

Omega 3 fatty acid if needed

Lunch:

calcium

Dinner:

Calcium

Bedtime:

Calcium

Probiotic, optional

Iron and Vitamin B-12 (monthly shot, weekly nasal spray, or a sublingual tablet once a week)

Love Disney! I used to live in FL and had annual passes, but I haven't been in 4 years. Are you staying on property?

Welcome Kornrockur! Excited for you, and we're glad that you are here!

No, we are staying in a condo about 5 miles from the park. This will be my first trip! I started exercising and eating smaller meals at the office for "the trip" but it also just happens to fit in perfectly with my surgery!

I am Dec 10th in NH!

Hi. New here. Hoping to be sleeved on Dec 3rd. Will know at the end of week if my insurance will cover it. If not, I'm going to Mexico! I will get this surgery one way or another. It's going to be hard getting it done in December as I have about 5 different holiday parties, Christmas as well as starting a new job. I know it's a lot and I'm a little sad I won't be able to eat or drink at any of these, but then again, I don't want to gain the usual holiday weight or feel uncomfortable in all these social settings like I usually am because of my weight.

Looking forward to all the fellow December sleevers stories as we will all be going through this together.

Having troubles staying subscribed :(.

Cannot stand the new update! When I use my PC, it takes 15 minutes to load and the freezes! It's better on the iPad and not very good on the android. Sure hope it gets better soon!

I will try to update the new members and dates as soon as I can!

Hi all -- I'm Amanda, 37-year-old homeschooling mama to six kiddos. I weighed 267 at my initial surgical consult. 276 was my highest weight 13 years ago, and I've hovered between 255-270 for the last several years.<p>

I've completed the insurance requirements and have been approved by Cigna. I start my pre-op diet on 11/18/13, and my surgery date is scheduled for 12/03/13.

Atlanta...if you would like, I could update the list for you? I don't want to step on any toes, but I would be happy to help if you would like.
