If things go right for me I am looking at getting my sleeve done in December! In November I will have my last NUT visit to complete the 6 months supervised, I will have my release from my cardiologist, and have my pysch evaluation done. Also in November we will be doing my upper endoscopy and if that goes well everything will be submitted to my insurance and the hope is to get approved in time for December surgery.

Some people think I am nuts for considering the surgery in December but I think it will just keep me from gaining the normal Holiday 10.

Any suggestions or thoughts on this?

Where are you located @@DaisyAmy? I'm located in Tennessee. I selected my date as well. My surgeon only does the procedure on Mon and Tues. I considered my time off as well. I do not work in the school system but we have scheduled holidays and floating holidays during that time so I should use around 8 days of my vacation so I will be off work until the beginning of the year.

Ditto, @@Cutepretty1! It'll be nice to have someone to go through this "together". We were in TN this summer -Gatlinburg area. I have a friend who lives in Chattanooga. Love Nashville. My dad's side of the family was from the Culleoka area. I have a fondness for TN!

Same date!

I just received my surgery date - my VSG will be December 8th, 2015. I was approved by insurance last week. I hope these 8 weeks go by quickly!

While I'd love to have surgery tomorrow, I am grateful to have it done in December so I can start 2016 off with a BANG.

Mine is Dec 10th and I am excited ......holidays will always be here.....I'm going for it ????????

I wanted a laptop for Christmas but I guess surgery will suffice lol..... I so excited!!!!! ????

December 18 pending insurance approval

I am so jealous. I don't know when my surgery is.

I am scheduled for December 9th, which is three days after finals for me. I'm excited and nervous at the same time...but like fatcinderellasball, I think it will be great to start the new year off with a bang!

7 more Thursdays. I'm putting these days to good use. I'm going to try to lose as much weight as I can before to make the surgery and recovery as safe, quick and painless as possible! I'm totally stoked tho.
