December 2018 Sleevers!

  • Popular Post

Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

  • I had my surgery exactly a year before you 12/12/17. Hopefully it's a lucky date. Almost a year out looking back it was an amazing life changing decision. I was just over 300 lbs to start and by June

  • So man. What a day! Surgery went text book according to surgeon. I was on the table for 55min. He told me it was obvious that I had rocked the preop diet, as he could have likely done the surgery with

Hi Folks,

I am scheduled for 12/5/2018 surgery date. My surgery and program are through Kaiser in Northern California, at the Richmond Medical Center.

In the midst of all of this, I am applying to PhD programs and searching for jobs. I'm thrilled for the next part of this journey.

I forgot to mention that my procedure is the gastric sleeve.

Hi all!

I'm very new here. I'm a younger guy in his twenties going through the first year of law school and am getting sleeved on December 17!

Welcome! I'm going through school to be a Rad Tech, but thankfully my surgery falls into a time frame where I have about a month to heal before I go back to school. How about you?

Oh man! Pre-Op is tomorrow! Have a full day of blood work, upper GI, classes and more!

*excited*

Exciting! Let us know how pre-op went!

21 days till my new life! I'm so effing excited I don;t even have time to be scared! I just wanna get it over with and get on with it!!!

Woohoo!

I start Sunday. Good luck\]

I just got approved last week! My classes end Dec 10th and my surgery is December 11 :)

I started my pre-op diet on Tuesday. Its not a full liquid diet, I get to eat food with mine as well as three shakes a day. Its very carefully controlled on what I can eat and how much, 2 very specific frozen meals a day and small amounts of "approved" vegetables with two of my shakes. I'm very thankful for this as I think a pure liquid diet I would be going insane right about now.

11 days until surgery though, all of my pre-op stuff done, blood-work and nicotine test already came back and I am good to go.

12/17
