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!!

Hood luck to everyone and thank u

My pre op appointment is Friday, and my EGD is a week from tomorrow... time seems to be going so SLOOOOOOOOOW.... I feel like a kid at Christmas Eve and it's happening over and over again. I'm trying to keep my schedule busy to pass the time more quickly. I need a distraction, lol!! I'm so glad to see every one is doing well post op and just want everyone to know that I will be praying for you on your surgery day. I can hardly wait until my day arrives.

My surgery is March 19th. And I am so excited but very nervous. I am not sure how to handle what people will say. I'm trying to think positive thoughts!! What are some things that you women are looking forward to being able to do once you lose some of the weight or even all of the weight??

Looking forward to not being winded when I walk up stairs, not having to worry if my clothes fit (too big would be great!), putting my socks on with ease, fitting nicely into an airplane seat, wanting to be in pictures, enjoying a nice beach vacation where I feel good about wearing shorts and a swimsuit, saving money on food!! Really everything!! What are you looking forward to?

Hey ya'll I'm heading to the hospital...7:00 table time so ill be on the flip side by lunch time ill post when I can!!

I hope everything went great! Here's to a speedy recovery!

Good luck my surgery is tom.

Good luck to you! I'm excited for you! I am only 8 days away!

Good luck to all of today's surgeries!

As for me' date=' 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.
