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, 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!!

And here comes March!!!!! Good luck guys!!!!

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 234.8

So far March 4th seems to be the first date of surgeries in our group! I just want you all to know I'll be praying for you, and my thoughts will be with you as well!! How are you guys doing with your pre op diets (if you have one) and what preparations are you working on? I'm all giddy with excitement, lol!!

Hi Kathy!

I will say this...the liquid diet puts things in perspective...I went through so many emotions... I am on day 11 and now I am ok, but please drink water,gatorade,juice.

Am I the only one starting to freak out just a little bit? I haven't heard much from the 4th and 5th date people...maybe I'm the only one who likes to worry about things that haven't happened yet...lol 5 days away for me...

I am March 26th. I can't wait, but at the same time, I am terrified. I have been heavy my entire life. I know this is going to be a tough journey, but one I can't wait to take.

I am march 5....quietly freaking out too, trying to contain it as much as possible! I am sure Monday I will be a mess once I get my call with surgery time. I am so worried I am going to get sick (cold) it is going around my office so I have been popping airborne to try to keep it away. I do not want ANYTHING to postpone surgery at this point!! Good luck, when do you go, wed 3/6?

So my head hurts so much and I am starving. I can only have 8 ounces of bariatric Protein shake for Breakfast lunch and snack. .. dinner I can have 5 ounces of any meat as long as it is not breadedor fried and 1 cup cooked veggies or 2 cups raw. Many head hurts and I am getting very dizzy... this is only day one. ....of preop surgery on march 7....I am in so much pain...HUNGER PAINS

It does get better. Don't give up. And remember, Water is your friend

I have been doing the same thing. When I hear someone sneeze or cough I cover my face and run! Lol I already have my time, I'm first on the table and I have to be there at 5 am on wednesday the 6th!! I'm freaking out about dumb things like will I have a roommate? What's it going to be like when u swallow spit! Lol dumb things...I made the mistake of watching a video of a live surgery....don't do that if u aren't forced to. I'm really just ready for this to be all over and I can start recovery already...

Just came back from my final office weigh in and I've lost 15lbs!!

Surgery is 3/5 and I have 4 more pounds to lose!

Woooohooooo!!!

I Start my liquid for 11 days starting on Monday morning, No food what so ever just six 8 oz shakes a day. I am allowed to add fruit as long as it is completely liquefied for the first 6 days.

Not freaking out yet, but keep thinking that this time next week I'll be post-op!! I think you and I are the only ones that don't share a surgery date with someone else. We still maintain our"singleton" status.

Just curious- what state are you in?

My surgery is March 6!
