I have made a December sleevers secret facebook group. if you want in please add me on facebook and I will add you to the group! kill_hannah_bandanna@yahoo.com the spaces are underscores

im 5'2" as well but my starting weight was 260. I'm now 237 and plan on being 230 by my last appointment!

I'm required to lose 20 and I've lost that with a month to go so I'm going to aim for 30

Sorry I lost track of this thread. I added you all!

Makes me happy to see so many December sleevers. Sucks it seems so far away though. Anyways I didn't introduce myself. My name is Ashlie and I'm 21, I live in Oregon and started gaining weight when I was 10 when I was put on some meds. Just kept gaining and haven't been able to get it off since. My start weight was 260 and I'm at 239 and my hight is 5'2". I think I'm going to keep losing till I hit a BMI of 40 cause I have nothing else to do till my last appointment lol.

Got my 5th appointment down but because of my insurance I can't go to my nut classes until after my 6th appointment and then a weigh in in December(hoping December 2nd for the dumb 7th weigh in. Then I have to wait for the nut classes and my insurance approval. She said ill still have a end of year surgery but I was hoping for a early December super bummed.

My aunts kinda mad about me getting it done around Christmas and New Years. There will be quite a few traditions I won't be able to do but the sooner I get this done the better. And at least we all get thanksgiving. I think I would be quite miserable with my broth at the table and watching everyone mow down on turkey, mashed taters and casseroles lol. My family does turkey enchiladas the next day too. Lol

my 2nd to my last appointment is this Monday and I know a bunch of information but maybe there is stuff I missed. I'm especially interested in hearing the cons. It makes me less nervous to know everything without surprises.

Some insurances do not accept high cholesterol.

I hate plain fish so I'm going to try sushi as well

oh ok thank you!

Uh oh why couldn't you take your antidepressants? I need meds to sleep so hopefully they allow them =\

My 2nd to my last appointment is on Monday and last is November 26th. My insurance normally takes a week so they said I'm looking at December. I've had all my tests and came back good to go besides a small hernia. I've lost the 20 pounds my surgeon required but need to try and keep it off till then. And since I have I've lost enough weight to start my two part NUT classes which will be scheduled Monday. So excited!

I have a little less than a month and a half and I wasn't given a diet. I was given tips but I did need to lose 20lbs which I've already lost. My center makes everyone lose 10-20lbs but ever center is different.

I got to see my surgeon and the beginning and had my endoscopy 3 months in.

I'm month 5 as well, my last appointment is nov 26th and I'm required to lose 20lbs and I've already lost that and a bit. Here they don't let you go to the pre op nut classes at the end if you haven't lost enough weight and they won't schedule if you haven't lost all the weight

me too

congradulations! I'm looking at a December date aswell. There is a December thread under 2013 sleevers then december

my last weigh in is November 26th so early December is what I am looking at. if I can just make it to where I get a approved or not ill be fine lol after my next approintment on the 21st ill be scheduled for two NUT classes which i'm looking forward too.

it's actually a lot better

my last nut appointment is nov 26th so I am looking at December

I'm ordering the zip today.

I'm 4 months in and its gone by quick though this month feels kinda slow. I'm sure the last month will go super slow lol.

I'm 21 and looking at a December date

I can't help but stay negative until I find out if I am approved. planning my hospital stay, buying vitamins ect, talking about that future just feels weird to me. There is always that what if? in my mind when I'm doing all this stuff. The likelihood of me being approved is good cause my insurance only requires non smoking non drug use and a diagnosis of type two diabetes. The psychologist said he thinks I'm good to go but the bariatric team meets up and decides if i'm ready. anyone else like me?
