December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

[tami j 277]

For some reason I started getting extremely nervous the last day or so! I've been working towards WLS since April so I'm not sure why my nerves seem to have taken over. Surgery is still several weeks away (12-16) and my liquid diet starts 12-2 so I'm sure it will be a roller coaster till then.

I'm the 16th as well, I've had some crazy thoughts enter my mind, then I get nervous then I try hard to move on! I am very nervous at times and at same time I am excited for starting this journey!

Maybe plan some things with friends since you will be recouping afterwards? I have plans every weekend with something! I think I'm purposely keeping my weekends busy so I keep from getting as nervous!

Painting furniture this weekend with a friend, sorting clothes by size - not sure how that's gonna keep my mind off things as much! I also have a maternity photo shoot coming soon so taking and editing pics, then I have a sip and paint the Saturday before liquid diet and finally last Saturday before surgery some friends and I are doing a run or dye 5k at the ballpark in Arlington, we are all walking tho especially I will be on liquids only-----and there is a holiday mixed in there too! Oh my - talk about a diversion!

Hi Tami j, I am trying to do just that-anything to keep me distracted!! Had an early Thanksgiving dinner her Saturday since we will be gone. We actually have a big family vacation planned for Thanksgiving week to Disney World! The trip is part of why I had to have surgery in Dec. I know things will work out. I have faith & a lot of prayers!

Love Disney! I used to live in FL and had annual passes, but I haven't been in 4 years. Are you staying on property?

No, we are staying in a condo about 5 miles from the park. This will be my first trip! I started exercising and eating smaller meals at the office for "the trip" but it also just happens to fit in perfectly with my surgery!

Hi. New here. Hoping to be sleeved on Dec 3rd. Will know at the end of week if my insurance will cover it. If not, I'm going to Mexico! I will get this surgery one way or another. It's going to be hard getting it done in December as I have about 5 different holiday parties, Christmas as well as starting a new job. I know it's a lot and I'm a little sad I won't be able to eat or drink at any of these, but then again, I don't want to gain the usual holiday weight or feel uncomfortable in all these social settings like I usually am because of my weight.

Looking forward to all the fellow December sleevers stories as we will all be going through this together.

Cannot stand the new update! When I use my PC, it takes 15 minutes to load and the freezes! It's better on the iPad and not very good on the android. Sure hope it gets better soon!

I will try to update the new members and dates as soon as I can!

Hi all -- I'm Amanda, 37-year-old homeschooling mama to six kiddos. I weighed 267 at my initial surgical consult. 276 was my highest weight 13 years ago, and I've hovered between 255-270 for the last several years.<p>

I've completed the insurance requirements and have been approved by Cigna. I start my pre-op diet on 11/18/13, and my surgery date is scheduled for 12/03/13.
