I'm getting so impatient !! My things were submitted to my insurance on the 15th and I have called twice this week .. I truly am on edge!! What do you do to take your mind off of it ...

Got all my paperwork submitted to insurance today! Now just waiting for the final approval for dec 9th.
I. Can't. Wait.
Hurry hurry December get here!

I am self pay in the states.

Welcome to the group Ashley! I'm glad there's so many of us. Between all of us, we should have some good info to share!

So happy to see so many December sleevers

Wow,,what an impressive list...

I'm Dec 11th... don't forget me!
New me on the way

My final appointment is supposed to be 5 hours. It is supposed to be a nutrition "class" where they discuss the postoo plan in more specifics and also final visit with the surgeon.
Welcome to the thread!

Oh also forgot to ask..any South Floridians??

Hi there Sleevsters!!! Just realized there was a December group started...I'm on track for hopefully a December 5th surgery date woo hoo!!! I had researched long and hard before deciding on the sleeve (vs band) and feel so good knowing the sleeve is for me! I am so happy I did more research to find out all the issues people had/have with the band. Excited to meet some sleeve buddies for this new exciting journey!

I will be December 17th Dr. Carcamo here in San Antonio. So excited I am 27 and have lost about 20 pounds so far on nutritionist diet plan. But I am terrified about loose skin. But I am ready to be healthy again. I just changed jobs. I am a hairdresser and am now at a fast paced salon. I have only told the owners and the manager and decided to ask off from Dec 17th to Jan 6th just so I am back to 100% and can keep up once I am back.

Ok, this is what I've come up with for dates. Let me know when you have a solid date and I can update the list!

Yay! Congrats and welcome to our group!

Welcome to the newer folks. I saw some other posts this morning with folks saying their surgery is in December, hopefully they will join too!
I have my psych eval tomorrow. I called so many and finally found one that doesn't do the 5 hour appt. Thus will be a regular 45 min appt.
After that, I need my upper GI and EKG. Then I should be able to schedule my date. I hope I will be far enough out that I can schedule it when I want it, the first Thursday in Dec.
Then I will have a 4 hour preop where I go to a nutrition class to get all the details, meet with the surgeon one last time, and I'm not sure what else.
So glad to have others along in a similar place!

Thanks Atlanta Red

Serenah and Shelly, please join us in the December 2013 Come In thread. I believe I linked to it above. There are over 30 December people in there now.

Hi everyone!! I'm scheduled for December 18th!!
I'm so excited but extremely nervous and anxious! I'm so afraid of being put under anesthesia. I have a child and I just keep thinking to myself that I am being selfish. But then I think to myself that I'm going to be just fine and my life will be so much better.
I am in my early thirties and I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I have always felt a bit ashamed of my size and I feel like I haven't been able to be the person I want to be. I want to be healthy, thin, and full of life. There are times that I would just rather stay home cause I don't want to be seen. My clothes just doesn't feel right and I feel heavy and tired. I don't want to be like this anymore.
I am 5'5 and weigh 215lbs. I'm just tired of feeling down, tired, heavy!
This site has really helped me because I feel like I'm not alone. We are in this journey together!

Come on in December 2013 sleevers! It's getting closer so surely there are more people closing in on a December date!

I think Nona337am in the december 2013 group had hers today. Maybe you can check in with her. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/96637-december-2013-sleevers-come-in/

Hello Fellow December Sleevers!
Is everyone here going through insurance or are there any self-paying sleevers? I will be in MX during the first week of December (still finalizing my choice of surgeon and therefore date).

I have been reading thru all comments looking for a 12/11 sleever! CONGRATS!
New me on the way
