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!!

Day five of the liquid diet. It is doable, but I am hungry. Last night I dreamed of pizza! I am proud to say that I have not cheated yet, but this is a painful divorce from junk. I am constantly reminding myself why I am doing this and what I am looking forward to: energy to chase my children, feeling sexy with my husband, normal size cloths, and riding roller coasters.

I'm in Illinois about 45 miles outside Chicago, how about u?

Not freaking out yet' date=' 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?[/quote']

I started on page one of this thread, and I was surprised how many people had fallen off this list here and there. I'm so sorry. I don't know how that's happened, but I've tried my best to include EVERYONE, even those who don't have a date yet. So if you don't see your name let me know, if you have a date change, I'll change it on the list. No problem!

Thanks for keeping us going Kathy!

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!!!

Congrats surgery day buddy! Can you believe it is so close?? I cannot wait to be on the other side.

March 11th! So quick-lots to do.

date set for surgery scared of being a statistic but can't day excited nervous more like it March 29, 2013 7:30 am is the new chapter hopefully of my life.

Congrats surgery day buddy! Can you believe it is so close?? I cannot wait to be on the other side.

That's awesome news Roxy! HI to both of my surgery buddies!! Can you believe we are only 3 days away?? Making final arrangements, getting after surgery RX's, making sure there is food in the house for my daughter and thinking about packing today, after I do laundry. Somehow gained 1/2 pound this morning UGH and more UGH. Down about 15 total so far but really thought I would lose more after being so hungry everyday!!

Freaking out just a bit, silently like you all, not so much about the operation but afterwards...second guessing my decision but only because I keep thinking about no bread or pizza after the surgery *sadness*. As someone said its like divorcing or breaking up with your best friend! Trying to refocus, but hard since every other commercial on TV is about food!!

3 days! I have not been able to sleep as I am so nervous and I'm feeling more hungrier than ever! lol.

I think these 2 weeks have been the hardest, saying goodbye to cheeseburgers, fries, pizza etc. especially when your coworkers are eating it around you and if course tv commercials don't help either.

We can do this and we will have a great outcome!

How are our March 4 friends feeling? I pray for peace and calmed nerves as you enter this new phase. I look forward to celebrating with you when you are on the other side. I look forward to joining you.

Next Friday is my date- so far the only one on the 8th. From what I understand, gas pains seem to be the overwhelming complaint. I think I shall come armed with liquid simethicone!:-) For all of you that have had c-sections, understand the importance of the fart- becomes quite the party atmosphere as everything is back in working order!:-) So in an unusual wish for friends- I wish you many easy farts!!!!
