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

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 :-)

I can't sleep either....tried....can't....

Had my surgery yesterday. I am uncomfortable but not miserable. The worst part is the back pain from the gas. I am so excited to be on the losers bench now!

I had mine on Wednesday. Was really bad all day Wednesday but been feeling really good :)

So, with my surgery a week away I want to start preparing. For all of our March buddies who have already been through surgery, are there things that you would recommend us bringing to the hospital? I want to be prepared but, I don't want to bring half of my closet either, any ideas?

Checked in and waiting for 7:30 am.

Awesome! I'm praying for u and with u in spirit!!! :)

I wanted to show some love and support for our family members having surgery today!!! Your in our thoughts and prayers!!!!! :)
