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!

I was told that I have gallstones and have to have my gallbladder removed during surgery.....has anyone else been told that?

I had mine removed last year. There are so many who have to have it removed shortly after being sleeved. Definitely good to have it removed at the same time rather than after.

A little nervous. ..my date will be here before I realize it

Hello All! I have my surgery set for Dec 3! I have completed everything , except preops, to be done before Tgiving. Ive been heavy all my life, I will turn 50 next Feb and I want to get healthy! I have lost and gained 100lbs 3 times in my life, and I need this to be the last time.I am ready to change my life and get healthy. Im 5 foot 5 1/2 , 230lbs. I want to be 150. That has been the best weight for me, but Im willing to go further down! . My family is so supportive and my deductible is paid for the year and my surger will be a grand total of 254 dollars. I am contemplating what protein supplements to purchase, Ninja or nutrabullet.

I'm scheduled for 12/16 with all of my pre-op stuff getting done on 11/25. Right now is hoping I get the money scraped up. I thought it would be all taken care of by now but a few emergencies have popped up. I really hope I don't have to reschedule! *sigh*. Self pay sucks

Hi

I'm new to this group and my surgery is scheduled for December 5th! I started my journey in May 2013 by asking my PCP for a referral to Kaiser's (Southern CA) Options program. I completed the Options classes (3 months) on 9/26, met with the surgeon on 10/15 and now have my surgery date.

I'm excited that there are so many of us already scheduled for December...it does seem too far away.

I liked your comment because of your date. I'm praying everything works out and you can keep your date...its a good one!

Thanks, I hope so too! I'm just a little bummed because so much stuff has been hitting that needs $$$$$. But I am nothing if not determined to make everything work!

Elhudge, where are you having your surgery?

I'm having my surgery in Vineland NJ. I am super excited!! Can't wait!

I added skinnynewbecky2014, Mfs and Blondiee to the list! So exciting to see so many people for our month!

Is anyone taking vitamins and supplements now? I began taking a multivitamin and biotin a month ago.

I started taking a multivitamin in June and vitamin D (50000IU) prescription weekly in August when my labs came back.

Woo Hoo!!! I'm a VST Addict now!!!! I can now add this to my list of addictions.

Hello All

I will complete my pre surgical classes on Nov 7. Then it is on to see the surgeon and insurance approval. I am hoping for a December date for surgery.
