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!!

Yesterday I went to the doc had my last weigh in' date=' got all of my surgery info, pre and post op diets, consent form...

My case will be submitted to the insurance company tomorrow! Please cross your fingers and toes for me [/quote']

Praying for u!!

Not gonna lie...everyone that said they felt great can take a flying leap...I was violently ill and in indescribable pain for 7 hours...I am much better today but yeah...I was in tears and I'm very tough. That was just my experience and I'm sure that's rare...but I'm grateful it's over

Thanks for the heads up!! It's nice to know and what to expect!

Just wanted to tell everyone I'm grateful for each of you! I pray for your strong and fast recovery for all who have already had their surgery, please pray for me too I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet and its tough but I'm hanging in there!! God bless

Hey chelle,

I'm have in loose stool too. I think it's left over from the mag citrate. I'm do jealous u r having jello. I just cream of wheat, 30cc and I'm still really hungry. I'm like r we sure we did the bypass and didn't just take the band out?

I hope I get to go home today too, but I'm not sure.

Is it bad do you know, i havent had a bowel movement yet? I had surgery on monday.

Day 3 is a massive improvement happy girl today! My biggest piece of advise...walk....every hour. No matter what. Wake up at night? Take a lap. Bored of what's on tv? Take a lap. Much better because of it today.

I'm on my way home now and I havem passed gas only buroed and my stomache don't feel well.

I got my surgery time today 12 pm! I have to be at the hospital at 930 on surgery day! It won't be long now. I found out I have to do Lovenox injections For a whole month!! That stuff ain't cheap but I know God will provide just like He always does!! I'm still so excited.

Thanks for the advice!! Will remember that.

Does anyone else stomach sound like a cat growling lol

Yes mine did last night now its just gas pain OMG!! wish it woukd go away

My tummy growls when I drink and it settles down. It might be too much air. When u sip, push out air from ur lungs when u swallow...might help...

So my boss just called and said that she will not approve for me to have the week of the 25th off. I need to wait until the following week' date=' to schedule my surgery. What a bummer! I really thought that it would happen in March. Oh we'll, I guess one more week doesn't really matter but she makes me mad! I want it done as soon as I can not when she says its ok. I guess if I want my job I will do as she says though. Ugh. So now I need to join the April dates. Sorry.[/quote']

My boss did the same thing to me!!.. I was SOoo upset!!.. I couldn't believe I waited so long to get a date and then I couldn't go .. Original day march 4th... New date March 25!!

Updated List:

Will post a copy of this in the post op thread as well... welcome every one!! Wow! Prayers are with all of our post op peeps and those of us who are still a big bundle of nerves! Praying for smooth surgeries' date=' no complications and peace of mind for every one!
