Just got my date Jan. 6th!! Seems far away but it will be here soon!

@@Lisa22280 my surgery buddy ???? we are the same date!!????

I am no longer a January sleever! My date was moved back to Dec. 29!!!!!!!!!

I am getting my sleeve done in Mexico (i am from canada) but saw a surgeon yesterday about my gallbladder. i have had issues since June. She wants it taken out when i have the sleeve done or she can do it this december before Mexico. ugh. Dont want two surgeries within one month!!!!

I am no longer a January sleever! My date was moved back to Dec. 29!!!!!!!!!

omg how lucky is that! Awesome!

@ Can your MX surgeon take out the gallbladder at the same time they do the VSG? I think many of them will do that at the same time (for extra $). I would do that!

On another note....I cannot get the song 'Eye of the Tiger' out of my head.

I was walking down the hall at work sippin' my Protein shake (testing out Premier today, YUM) singing....I am so READY for January!!!!

I am still waiting to hear back!!! i really hope so. It would be much easier and then i could HONESTLY say i was off for my gallbladder. I am not telling a lot of people specifically at work. My closest friends know :-) However my husband who is super supportive and hapoy for me (he is tired of seeing me suffer)...is telling pretty much anyone lol.

I love that song Shizwiz!! I can picture the strut lol. I saw Fleetwood Mac in concert last night so Don't Stop is stuck in my head :-)

@ I will cross my fingers for you! It would sure be nice to take out two birds with one stone. I read that most gastic patients are at higher risk of gall bladder issues because of the high Protein consumption?

I have not told anyone other than one friend (who is against it and not very supportive so...yikes), my boyfriend of course, my family, and two close coworkers (who are super excited for me!). But yeah, I am keeping it a secret because people sure do have their opionions. I am fine with that, but have a tendency to shut people down a little too rudely when they give me unsolicited advise on weight loss...so it is for their benefit not mine

I am actually the Privacy Officer for the hospital I work for...so I am sure people will be afraid to ask details of my surgery one I come back. Mwuahhahaha....

Ohhh privacy officer nice!!! I work in the hospital in xray. If i have to have any tests everyone would know. I could have my account audited to make sure noone noses around but hopefully it wont come to that!!

I do find that people have verystrong feelings on WLS. A couple of friends of mine had it done. Everyone nice to their face but holy nasty comments behind their backs :-( I dont do well with that stuff!!!

I got my surgery date today!!! So excited!!! Dec. 8th! My surgeon told us that we can for sure expect to loose 100 lbs in 6 mths. That has blown my mind! I cant even begin to imagine how great I am going to feel

can I ask what your weight is now? My surgeon hasn't given me any info like that. ..

Hi everyone I'm scheduling my surgery for either January 7th or 8th at the OCC with Dr. Ariel Ortiz!! Would love to meet anyone else going the same time i am!!!

Hi @@mkw10 my name is Dana and I am scheduled for January 7th at Anne Arundel Medical Center with Dr. Gandsas here in the state of Maryland.

My surgery is January 20, 2015 with Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico:)

Yep i am 5'7" and i weighed 320 on tuesday. He said as long as I follow his suggestions (mainly getting 100 g of protein in a day) that loosing that is very realistic.
