March Surgery Dates

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!! :D

#1 just got butterflies of excitement when I read "post op"

#2 I'm curious what is the one thing you are looking forward to the most...beyond health stuff...I'm looking forward to running for fun again....

I'm looking forward to being able to really play and hike and bike with my kids!!

Btb2013 I'm scared of heights I don't know if I have the juevos for that! Lol

I am scared too. I closed my eyes at first, and hubby went first. Then I opened one eye, then the next. By the end of the route (4-5) different ones I was shouting! :-)

Hi! My original date was 1/4 but due to a major thyroid issue it got cancelled at my 12/26 pre-op and I was devastated. Got everything under control and was scheduled for April Fool's Day. which is just so wrong. The scheduler called me this afternoon to tell me that there was a cancellation and my new date is 3/13/13 (I like the numbers ~ easy to remember my new *birthday*) with a pre-op on 2/25. I do not have to have the 2-week liquid diet.

BTW, I also post on the big ObesityHelp.com - RNY thread and I have NEVER heard of anyone having a g-tube.

Hi all-I have my surgery March 5th so time is getting near! So excited, scared and relieved about this whole long process!

Thanks for keeping our list Kathy!

For preparation, I've been buying some things like crystal light when it was on sale, chicken broth, Vitamins, etc… mentally, I've been following a few WLS groups on Facebook and living on here just to keep myself positive, motivated and prepared for "Post op" life with fellow "Posties"!! :)
