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!!

Good luck to all of you...Hope evrrything you have accomplished this far is motivation to continue to live healthy. TONIGHT I PRAY:

AS THE DAY EMBARK WITH MIND MADE UP. LET DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS SHINE THROUGH..THE ROAD AHEAD MIGHT BE DIFFICULT BUT MAY THE LORD GUIDE YOU. YOU ARE ALL SHINING STARS. GOODLUCK AND CONGRATS

Aaaaw thanx

Thank you so much loveme! The prayer brought tears to my eyes.

Everyday I am getting less nervous and more excited. I am so proud to have made such a difficult decision, and I cannot wait for MARCH 7..... Thankyou everyone from the Magnificent March Crew I am Inspired. .

I am starting to freak out. Worrying something will go wrong and I won't get to have surgery. Worrying about after surgery will I be able to stick to the rules. Im freaking myself out!! I have my pre op class on thursday and two weeks from today is surgery. Praying for some peace.....

I found this in another post and thought it may help some of us. There is an app called 'rxmind me' that is available I know for iPhone and I think for android. You can set reminders for your pills on it. Also saw another app called waterlogged to track water.

Well starting my pre-op liquid diet today. All very exciting. I have my nutritional shake to take but not sure what else. Will be in contact with my dietician first thing this morning.

This is gonna be hard I think. As I have a conference this week.

But I know it has to be done.

Hang in there!!! You can do it!

Thanks Elle! Can't wait to post in post op after tomorrow!!

Don't be surprised if they tell you shakes only and be prepared for the headache.

Hang in there!!! You can do it!

Be prepared for the headache it starts on day two and if you have to work I wanted to make sure you have medications with you.

Been waiting in pre op for about 3 hours now waiting for the operating room to be free. Met with anesthesiologist and doctor already. I'm hungry and thirsty trying not to think about my mother and daughter in the cafeteria eating a steak and cheese and fries! Lol

Instead think about all of the energy and new cloths you will have from not eating steak and cheese! Best of luck with your surgery check in and let us know how you are doing once you feel up to it.

They aren't off eating they are just in the waiting room. They are waiting to hear that you are doing great.
