Looking for start a mini support group for sleevers who plan to get surgery done in December of this year. I figure its only two months away so we should meet up now and plan for it Lemme know if anybody is interested!

I'm a little scared. I'm worry about silly things like not using a straw anymore.

I'm going to miss drinking with a straw too. I'm worried about my sinus headaches, they are hard to deal with. The med that works best is a tablet.

Dr said I should be able to take it hopefully. Maybe the sinus problem will clear up.

So excited! Just got my date. December 3rd!

Same day as me! Very close when I think of all I want to get done before then.

I am scheduled for December 30th, but I am not sure I am boing to be able to do follow through with it then. Work is getting super hectic and I was just out for a different surgery for 2 weeks about a month ago. I'm still nervous about this surgery, too.

Don't do anything that is permanent, like this surgery, until you are confident in your decision. Take time to explore and make sure this is the best route for you.

Agreed! I am about 97% sure. I just don't know when it will happen with my schedule and recovery from my other surgery. the 3% of me that is unsure is not about the surgery itself. Cheering everyone on with their surgeries. We can gain so much from having it!

It's November( at least in Japan) lol so all we have to do is get though these four weeks!!!! December is right around the corner guys!! It's starting to get really real now!!!

Huh drinking with a straw? Can't?? Huh what have I missed????

Yes getting real.. Opti slim turned up.. shakes Soup bars and big Protein shake.

Trying to live on shakes n soup but ended up at maccas lol

Still a month till I need to go in pre diet

Yes, no more straws. They add extra air into your stomach and can cause gas or stretch it out. My doctor is stern about it.

I am looking at a January sleeve. Can I sneak in?

You have all gone through the Psych eval; what was it like? For some reason, I am nervous about it.

During mine, the doctor asked me questions about my expectations and had me explain the surgery to her. I think she wanted to make sure I understood what I was doing.

Mine asked what I was doing and why I was doing it. How does my family and spouse feel about it. Will there be jealousy or a chance of infidelity( yes, he asked that). Also what led to my weight gain. Did I feel like I couldn't control myself or was addicted to food.

Mine asked those questions except the infidelity LOL.
