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!!

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

Welcome and good luck. I'm band to bypass on March 21. Please post after and let us know how you're doing!

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 Just went through the same feelings this past weekend! But, after thinking about everything, I have concluded that I Can Do This! WE Can do this!! Before surgery, our tummys are still big and hungry but After surgery, it'll be different. We will be able to stick to it bcs we're going to eat differently and get more active. We're going to have healthier lives and better times ahead! Stay Positive. You can do this!! :-)

Me too!! I have to be there at 5 and 7 is surgery!!! I have a set of antibiotics to take at 11 and then I'll go to bed. Good luck tomorrow!!

Hi everyone, came out of surgery and into my room around 5:30pm. Just did my first walk and over did it and in lots of pain, got my dose of morphine and falling asleep. Nursing staff has been awesome! Tomorrow is my ugi, I will keep everyone posted.

For all those post opers, I just want to know if you felt anything during the surgery! Or where you completely out?
