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'm scheduled for December 28th. I too am a college student. I'm 35 years old and have decided to leave my former career of retail management to become a registered dental hygienist. I had to schedule my surgery right after Christmas because I have classes all the way through the 20th.
I just started my extended pre-op diet, my current weight is 248 and theyd like me to at least reach 235 before surgery.

I currently work in logistics and I've decided that I want a career in radiology, more specifically a radiological technician. The way that my class is set up (online) I can take my final exam a couple days before my surgery, so I have about a month to recover before I start the Spring semester.

I believe I will have a pre-op diet about two weeks prior to surgery, but nothing up until then. What is your extended pre-op diet like?

Radiology technician sounds very interesting. I'm so excited for your surgery and your new career!

I attached a copy of a sample daily menu for me right now. [emoji6]

December 3rd, 2018!! So excited. I had a lapband 10 years ago and lost over 100lbs. Sadly it slipped severely, HAD to be removed 2+ years ago. I’m back to 300 lbs now and so ready for my sleeve!!!

[Myhorseisfattoo 387]

Hey - I also am an AZ PA girl! From Phoenix area, now in Harrisburg area!

I'm getting sleeved on the 12th...I'll be looking for updates from you!

Myhorseisfattoo-
How crazy! I’m in Lebanon, just east of Harrisburg! Pinnacle?!? I have Dr. Rosenberger.

Myhorseisfattoo-

My bestie is going thru Hershey Medical Center. Is that the same as PS Health? My mom has her bypass at HMC in 1987/88 era. Still doing wonderfully! Should have listened to her first go-around and just had the bypass. Doc said 10 years ago that I didn’t qualify for bypass.

Best of luck and keep in touch!!

Backatcha, sister!

My date is December 4th! It is approaching fast and I am so busy with “life” I haven’t had time to even think about it fully yet. I have two appointments Wednesday. One with the office and Pre-Op @ the hospital.

[Myhorseisfattoo 387]

Chappy - you'll have to be the reporter back to us who are later in the month! My total excitement now includes a little fear, which I didn't have before!

Another December 12, oh my goodness!
