March 2010 only please

[girl55 5]

My surgery is March 16. I'm so looking for the start of my new life. I know I'll have to make some major changes - but I'm ready. I have a pre-op visit Thursday, March 11, and then it's count down to d-day. I too am excited but a little nervous. But I've read so many great stories, I look forward to a new me. I am 5'5'', 265 lbs. and 54 years old.

Let's go Marchers, let's do it together.:biggrin:

Welcome!

Great news Stargate. I was pushed from January to March. The 6 weeks flew by though and March has a better group than January. Just kidding.

Girl55, don't think of it as d-day. It is V-Day!!

What is funny?

The results of the poll are public. Click Here

The survey was created so that we could see who is having surgery in March and which day, in order to comfort them and wish them luck.

We have 71 responses so far and and I think there is just 1 that shouldn't be there.

No offense taken. I just want to clarify what the poll is for and hope that others are using it to send their good wishes and prayers to those having surgery soon.

The banner is big as to not be missed

Hi. My first post :wub: My surgery date is March 19th, in Las Vegas. Excited and a little nervous....of course.

Sharon

Congrats, Sharon! Excited is good - the nervous is also good. I'm only 4 days post-op and believe me -you'll be very happy you did this!

Blessings and peace -

Hi, I am 10 days post-op. No more gas pain and feel pretty good. Still some soreness in port, which is sticking out. Doc said its suppose to go down. Since yesterday I don't have much restriction. I'm still eating mashed up stuff or I put it thru food prosessor.I am getting hungry in between meals, too. My first fill is April 5th and I'm afraid of gaining back what I've lost so far.

Howdy folks,

Well, tomorrow is the last day of March. Congratulations to those that have had surgery and good luck to those tomorrow.

This was an open survey and gives the names of everybody that replied. I will try to get some sort of spreadsheet together so we can track each others progress.
