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!!

I had really strange food dreams last night. I'm just happy I finally slept most of the night, but those were some vivid, probably depraved, yet delicious dreams. Hope everyone is doing better and getting stronger today.

In and all set up waiting on the surgeon

I have my surgery March 27th. Excited and nervous.

Surgery is Tuesday at 6:30 am. I have my bag packed and I think I am fully prepared for what I can think of lol. Super nervous and excited. But I am ready. So happy that I will have my husband with me along the way of this wonderful journey.

Having surgery in a week!!! 3/22... On an optifast diet for two weeks before surgery and I'm soooooo hungry!! What I wouldn't give for a nice juicy steak!! But I'm going to be good for my health!

My surgery is also Tuesday. I am so bummed because they just called and told me that the other patient my doctor has scheduled for that day is diabetic and needs to be done before me so now my surgery is not until 1230 BOOOO!!!! Being NPO that long is really going to stink!

Anyone with a BMI over fifty that DOES NOT have to do Lovenox injections for a month post op?

Not positive but I do not think I have to do the love oz after I leave the hospital and my BMI is over 50. It is amazing the differences fin the requirements of various docs.

I had mine this past Tuesday and didn't have it until 1:00 PM and I'm diabetic! Rest assured though, by that morning I wasn't even hungry anymore since the day before was clear liquids. You are going to do great, and I am super excited for you. I'm 4 days out and feeling pretty good and I'm a gigantic wuss

Thank you for your kind words. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. What did all of you bring to the hospital? Anything you would recommend?
