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!!

We go under around the same time. My surgery is at 130 now instead of 1....goy that call today

I will be thinking of you Yvette. I can't wait to hear how it went for you!

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?

Chapstick and slippers

I always put two gowns on. One with opening in the front and one opening in the back. Works great.

Know I'm late to this group but my surgery is Mar 20th. Really excited after today's Pre - op visit with my surgeon who is awesome. Thought about this off and on fir years and now it is actually happening- can't wait until next week.

Omg help! I just got back from my pre op appt because they moved my surgery days from April

22nd to Monday March 18th!

Thank you!!! ) I spent too many times wear one that's why. Lol came up with this while in the hospital on my one of many visits. Don't like showing more than I have to.

I can't wait for the day where I want my picture taken. Where I won't look at my fat in every single picture. :/ surgery isn't getting here fast enough

Hmmm...house shoes you can walk in, robe....I brought Burt's Bees because my lips were ridiculously chapped. I liked having the Listerine breath strips also. Lotion...deodorant...definitely lap top, ipad, phone or something you can keep us all posted with! It's nice being able to reach out on the forum when you're feeling frustrated.

I know EXACTLY what you're saying. I'm so glad the surgery is over for me, but it's harder than I thought it would be. If anyone ever tells you it's "the easy way out", you have my permission to punch them in the throat. When's your surgery date?

You've made a conscious decision to change your life. You've gone through all of this, and you have your surgery date right around the corner. These are all really good things. You have a lot to look forward to. The pre-op, the anticipation, the emotional stuff...it all sucks, but just keep telling yourself that it will get better. Before you know it...it does. You aren't alone. I'll be trudging right along with you.

Liquid diet haven't been a problem actually. My doctor only put me on it for three days but been doing it off and on. I have lose 14 pounds since Feb. 8th. So I think I'm doing good. Sunday the 17th is my anniversary and I have to drink the bottle of laxative which I'm not looking forward to lol. So will have to put celebrating being with my husband for 7 years on hold until I get better lol. How is it going for you if you have done it?
