male only Surgery Around Holidays?

[Hudson Patriot 0]

I am scheduled for December 11th. Besides wanting to have surgery ASAP, insurance was also a big reason for me. I did not want my deductible and out-of-pocket copay to reset on January 1st. As far as the holidays, we recently moved pretty far from family, so it will just be the wife, kids, and me. No worries. Barring any unexpected complications, I will be back to work on the 30th. Since I have only shared with a handful of trusted people at work, most will assume that I took a long end-of-year vacation. I got plenty to eat this Thanksgiving, which after having been on the pre-op diet for three months, reminded me of how incredibly gluttonous we are. Ugh, disgusting. So, I'm not concerned about the upcoming holidays at all

My wife and I both are getting sleeved this month. She is scheduled on the 16th and I am on the 30th in Tijuana. I will probably be on one of the hardest points in the pre-op diet on Christmas day when everyone else is enjoying turkey/ham, I'll be looking to start on all Clear Liquids. I'm not worried about it though. Look up some before and after photos and get some motivation!

That will be tough, but my advice is that once you wake up from the surgery, that PITA preop diet will feel like a million years ago.

My wife got sleeved on November 11th and I'm up December 18th. Like a few said we had 34 years to enjoy holiday eating. If you can do it now just get it done so you can get started to a new healthier you...

My surgery is scheduled for 12/23, best case is that I'll get out of the hospital on Christmas Eve, but more likely not until Christmas day. But I can't complain, I scheduled it this way on purpose because it makes it much easier to take an entire week off of work and then work from home for the second week if needed.
