Hi there - just got my insurance approval today and scheduled for Dec. 21 as well. I'm brand new to this site and hoping to connect with a support group of other December folks.

How are all the Dec. 21st peeps doing? I'm "nerve-cited" as my kids would say. I keep cycling through the "what ifs?" and worrying about ruining Christmas for my family if god forbid something should happen during or after surgery. I am trying to focus on the future and how happy I'll be with this decision a month or two down the line. Just a ball of nerves I guess. How is everyone else feeling?

Mine is tomorrow also. I arrive at 11am. I'm not nervous or excited....feeling a little anxious though. Want the surgery to be over so I can get to my new life

I don't check in until 1 pm - surgery at 2:15. I'm going to be starving, but oh well! I am just nervous about complications and the impact on my husband and three little ones. But I know major issues are statistically rare so I just need to take a deep breath and trust all will turn out fine. Would love to keep in touch and hear how everyone's procedure goes. Wishing all 21st sleevers safe, complication free procedures tomorrow with easy recoveries!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
