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 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' date=' 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!!!![/quote']

Lol!! That's right! Praying for you all as well. Monday is a BIG day for some of us.

In honor of "MARCH" I am going to spend Saturday morning un subscribing my e mail address from all of my favorite splurge restaurants. I no longer need to know the new dishes, deserts or when their happy hour is.

I'm going to WIN! No temptation via e mail!!!

Hey Marchers. I've read on some of the other boards that the chewable gas meds work allot better than strips or Liquids for people post surgery. Just FYI.

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']

Well I am the seventh and trust butterflies plus hunger pains are really here.. the closer to the date I get the more I just say Lynn remeber this is a fresh start...bye hye diabetes byebye high gh lbood pressure....hello fertility. ...I am 27 years old I am scared but on the other side of surgery we as a whole will improve our kive forever..we are strong for making it this far...we are on fire...hitter than a fantasy

Keep that positive attitude and you'll do great!!

Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!

I have finally been approved by my insurance. They said the 14th March but my surgeon only does the surgery on Tuesdays. So I'm hoping now that I have Authorization I can get it changed to the 12th. But the 19th will be fine too.

Been a long time coming.
