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

You got it. I know everything is going to workout. When you get the call that you've been approved you going to be running all over the house happy!

I cried :) and they set my surgery for a week later

I agree it sounds delish but I'm easily distracted by shiny objects so I switch to thinking about me in sexy cloths!!! I have a costume picked out for Halloween already ;)

@mfee08... My surgery is on Wed as well!!! AFM- i am feeling good as new from being sick yesterday, all ready for my surgery!!!

More than likely you just have to keep fingers clear. Although i wore clear and everything was fine.

Went to pre-op today and asked if I could have polish and they said yes because I'm not having foot or hand surgery... I'm so glad :)

Just a little advice to everyone!

I'm 5 days post op and my biggest helps so far ar gas x strips' date=' heating pad, walking, body pillows and a tervis cup filled with crystal light. And definitely nothing too hot or too cold.

Cream of wheat

Jello

oatmeal

Popsicles

Carb master yogurt from Kroger

Hunts sf pudding

Adkins Protein Drinks or pure Protein or unjury.

I would have someone stock up for u or have it before u go in!

If I think of anything else I will post.

I don't think you would offend anyone here, we all realize why we are supporting each other

About to get a few hours sleep before heading to the hospital!! Nervousness and excitement! Looking forward to the 'losers bench', so make room.

Looking forward to having u over here!

Did anyone else get the silastic ring? Why or why not? I got it and my dr said they were the only place in Illinois that provide it. I'm very happy I got it personally.

Got to be at the hospital for surgery in 4 hours. Wish I could get some sleep in but wide awake. I guess it doesn't help when you've been working until 2am and not going to bed until 430am the past few weeks. I wish everyone luck today :-)
