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!!

Recovery does indeed suck. This is day 2 post op for me and I'm noticing improvement in pain and such already. Just think, if we can make it though the first couple of weeks it will all be worth it in the end. I get to shower now then hopefully I will be headed home.

Well just had my x-rays, had to go have more done, and all is good so I am on my fluids. 65ml per hour. Tomorrow it will go up to 90ml.

My EGD went well. Throat is a little sore. He did a biopsy. He told me that I told him all about my week and some other stuff when I was coming off the anesthesia, lol... I said you better tell me!! He said he couldn't do that, but that he would definitely have to call my husband later tonight and have a talk with him. Lol.... Oh boy.... he said they call it the "truth serum" Lol.

Lol! You said he wasn't bad looking...maybe you told him. Lol. That is cute!

Omg.. i wonder if i said anything crazy

It finally happened. I cried. I keep telling myself no regrets...no regrets....but dang it sometimes a girl just wants to be able to eat fried chicken and fart. Ughh...sorry about that visual. I suppose this horrendous left sided belly pain will be around a few more days. Any advice getting through "hell week"?
