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!!

Hi everyone' date=' 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.[/quote']

As for me, no more morephin, horrible chest pain and getting ready for UGI. Catheter is out(thank god).

Feeling a little tummy discomfort(5incisions) but its the chest pain that is bothering.

Slept like a baby last night but that was due to the pain meds, unfortunately no more today

I'm happy you are doing so great. My guess is the chest pain is from the anesthesia working out of your system. I've had many surgeries and sometimes the pain in my chest/shoulder area was worse than the surgical pain. Thankfully, it goes away within a day or so. Are they going to be giving you anything for pain?

You did great, now if only I do as great. I am afraid I won't have my surgery. I have cheated on my opifast diet of shakes only every day so far.

Sorry to hear about your chest pain. Judging from the other post op threads it's probably the gas right? I know mine was a real b!+*# after my lap band surgery. Good to know you are doing well otherwise. Good luck and prayers out to everyone today.

Off to shower! So totally nervous. RNY in 4 hrs. And counting.
