December 18th!!
Mayo Clinic at Jacksonville is being awesome about getting me in before the end of the year (who knows if the new insurance policies will cover this surgery; even the insurance companies can't say - and they are currently selling the plans).
The surgeon's nurse just called and told me they are tentatively booking me for December 18th, pending final medical clearance on 11/19. I am beyond excited!!
I am anxious to learn who else has a December date. (I'm having a RNY.)

Mine got moved up a day to December 17th - so we're less than 2 weeks apart!!
How excited are you? If it weren't for Thanksgiving (and getting my Christmas cards and gifts done early), I'd wi**** were next week.

It does and it doesn't feel far away. We have less than 6 weeks to go. With Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas, not to mention the wrap up of our pre-op visits - it will be here before we know it! Maybe we can exchange post op notes!!

You beat me by 1 day - Happy Birthday to a brand new you!!
My birthday is the end of November, so my surgery on 12/17 is a birthday/Christmas gift to myself. Yay!!

Mine is December 3, 2013, so this Coming Tuesday, it will be two weeks away!! I cannot believe it has come so fast. I am so nervous, but so excited at the same time!
December 3rd will be here before you know it! Try to focus on the excited and not as much on the nervous part. This will be the start of our new, healthier lives, and that is something to celebrate.
Please let me know how you are doing - both from now until the surgery, and especially after the surgery. You will be in my prayers on December 3rd! Feel free to send me a message if you want to compare notes - since we are both members of the December club!!
