March Surgery Dates

[Gurlygirlrcr80 95]

Well it's checkout time and so glad to be going home. Been pain free since yesterday. And it's been wonderful' date=' for a major op, very little pain.

Just that gas!!

Doc is sending me home with some meds, just in case.

Now to join the march post op thread.[/quote']

Ok so I realize you aren't on the stage 2 diet yet but the theory might help you with a stage 1 food...I discovered a little tip for moving gas....I've been having major gas pains and I couldn't burp (it would just sit in my chest and burn) and it wasn't going anywhere with gas x and walking. So I ate some pureed spaghettio's (since they make me gassy) and while they were delish, they made me more gassy and I have completely gotten rid of the gas pain in my shoulders.

I hate talking about passing gas but hey...it's a fact of life and if it helps relieve anyone else's has pain...it's worth it!!

I had really strange food dreams last night. I'm just happy I finally slept most of the night, but those were some vivid, probably depraved, yet delicious dreams. Hope everyone is doing better and getting stronger today.

I've seen topics where members having surgery in the same month have kinda banded together to offer support and encouragement to one another. I think this is a wonderful idea' date=' and I'd like to see if there's anyone having surgery in March that would like to support one another.

I have a tentative date for the second or third week in March. I have UHC through Georgia Pacific and they use BRS for approvals. I don't expect any delays, nor does my surgeon's office, so she saved me a spot, so to speak, lol.

Tonight I have my psyc eval, and Monday is my information class, I have two more visits, 2/5 and 3/5 of my six month supervised diet, and on March 5th when I leave my PCP's office, I'll take my worksheet to the surgeon and we'll submit to insurance. That's where I'm at!

I'd love to talk with others that are looking at the same time frame as me!! [/quote']

I have my surgery March 27th. Excited and nervous.

Surgery is Tuesday at 6:30 am. I have my bag packed and I think I am fully prepared for what I can think of lol. Super nervous and excited. But I am ready. So happy that I will have my husband with me along the way of this wonderful journey.

My surgery is also Tuesday. I am so bummed because they just called and told me that the other patient my doctor has scheduled for that day is diabetic and needs to be done before me so now my surgery is not until 1230 BOOOO!!!! Being NPO that long is really going to stink!

Anyone with a BMI over fifty that DOES NOT have to do Lovenox injections for a month post op?

Not positive but I do not think I have to do the love oz after I leave the hospital and my BMI is over 50. It is amazing the differences fin the requirements of various docs.

I had mine this past Tuesday and didn't have it until 1:00 PM and I'm diabetic! Rest assured though, by that morning I wasn't even hungry anymore since the day before was Clear Liquids. You are going to do great, and I am super excited for you. I'm 4 days out and feeling pretty good and I'm a gigantic wuss
