I just met with my surgeon today, I was supposed to originally have my surgery dec. 30th buts since I have two blood clotting disorders they want to move it up to either the 2nd or the 9th.. My bday is the 11th. New year new beginnings can't wait! This is all pending my bosses approval of course :(

Hello all! I hope you'll have me as I just got my date today, 12/01/14!! I thought I would be in Nov but due to the holidays and my surgeon only doing surgery 2 days a week I was pushed into December. Not bad at all ????

I had the surgery back in June, but my daughters are both scheduled Dec 8th. We will be having shakes during the day and a small Protein (turkey) and salad plate for dinner. No way would I bring out a big spread when I know they can't eat that stuff. My hubby is on board too. He said he would go to the neighbors for his pumpkin pie! Christmas will be exactly the same as both will still be on a liquid diet. Next year during the holidays we will go to a warm beachy resort and food will again not be our focus... But for different reasons. We will be having too much fun romping in the ocean in our bikinis!!!!

Crystalsleeve, thanks for the kind words. I will admit my oldest daughter has seen my success and decided to get on board and have the sleeve surgery also, but my youngest daughter and I had planned on doing this together from the very beginning when we started the preop testing, etc way back in Dec 2013. My insurance approved my surgery but her insurance denied her (twice). So I went through with the surgery in June and every time she and I went shopping for clothes it was always bittersweet. My dress sizes going down each time was a great feeling for me, but it still broke my heart because she was not on her own journey to ONEderland. She was happy for me and never let it show that it hurt her as well. So their surgeries in Dec 2014 will put them on the positive track of self confidence and self love. I cannot wait for all 3 of us to be on this journey together!

Good luck to all the December sleevers!!!! Having already had this surgery I can tell you it is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!!! I started out at 226, wearing size 16W pants and now, 4 months later, I weigh 172, and am wearing size 12 petite (even those are a bit big)! I never imagined I could get into that size and now I wonder if 8s are in my future. OMG!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
