After all the prerequisites that were required, and submit to insurance to get denied, to having to complete 6 month NUT/PCP weightloss management, to a PEER to PEER and finally finally finally approved. Surgery Date is December 15th I finally have a date and it just got real for me. I'm super excited but I am also nervous, nervous about the surgery itself and nervous because I don't want to fail I have battled the yo-yo weight thing for so flipping long I want to be healthy I want to be able to climb stairs without feeling like my heart is about to pop out of my chest, I want to be free of being obese and so unhealthy.

Any other December sleevers out there that feel like this? Mentors? FB??

Thank you and I pray that you get approved

I had my surgery last Thursday 12/10. Honestly for me the procedure itself was ok & I also had a hernia repair also. Truly the worst part of it was having that darn IV pole attached to me every time I wanted to get up and walk. Stay positive & go into it knowing you chose a great Dr and you'll do great. Best wishes for a fast recovery.

Congratulations! This must be very exciting for you !! If all goes as planned I am expected to go into surgery around mid February! Although I am not quite where you are at yet I can tell you this..Being nervous is perfectly normal and you should be so proud of yourself for taking this big step towards a healthier you! Everything you have been working so hard for is finally coming together and there's nothing wrong with a few butterflies You will be just fine if you stay focused on the goal!! Congrats to you! I would love to hear how your journey goes !! Best of luck ! xo
