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!!

How's all the March peeps doing!? Jealously watching the February people start their surgery like me? I'm getting antsy and nervous to start the 2 week pre op diet....I am just trying to soak up all the info out there....

I'm more focused than ever now to keep pushing sugars out of my diet though lol that's for sure...the less dependency I have I sugar come March 6th, the better I am gonna be in the long run...

I am excited. Not really nervous so far. I am looking forward to the changes to come :-)

Waiting upon my doctor for my second appt this week to finally get a surgery date/approval. Workup is done and waiting is killing me. We are anticipating a March date. . So excited!

I am very excited too! For some reason I am looking forward to trying out zip lining. I have seen a few videos on YouTube of it. I have never been able to do it because of my weight. Also, I look forward to leading a more active lifestyle with my partner. She has always loved the outdoors and I can not wait to be able to keep up with her when we go hiking :-)

Zip lining is sooooooo much fun. My husband and I did it in ocean city on our anniversary vacation before I beat his butt in laser tag and he beat me in mini golf.... He is soooo competitive :-) he won't just take it lying down :-( LOL!
