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!!

Good luck everyone that is scheduled tomorrow. My thoughts any prayers are with you!!

Good luck to all those with surgery this week. I'm a week out and so ready. If I need to do a clean out all I need to do is drink a protein shake! Time to get this show on the road.

Good luck to all of you that have your surgeries tomorrow :-)

I have a big favor to ask! Would you all check the list' date=' and if you see any mistakes, or you want to be added, let me know tonight! Surgery is tomorrow, and I'll be posting from my iPod or tablet at the hospital, and this thing is much easier on a keyboard! That way I can get it all right tonight! After this, please feel free to copy and paste to make corrections! I don't mind at all! We went from about ten or fifteen when I started this thread to 74 people!!! And that's if I haven't missed anyone! I love this group!![/quote']

All he best tomorrow Kathy and thanks for posting a revised list.let us know g how things go; we're here for ya!

Good luck to everyone who's having surgery this week... I'm having surgery on the 25th and I'm already nervous!!

Prayers to all the surgery people on the 18th. Can you believe the month is half over!

Pre Op Diet starts tomorrow... I'm getting closer to my new life!!!! I'm super excited and so ready for CHANGE!

Ahaha!!! I just found myself thinking "maybe I should shave my legs if I'm going to be wearing those skimpy gowns" lol silly I know!

My pre op is tomorrow and my surgery is the next day. Really excited and ready. The bottle of laxative they gave me didn't taste bad at all to me. It was lemon. It is taking forever to work though. I have a very busy day ahead of me tomorrow. Glad I have my husband with me for support!! Love that man The liquid diet was easy for me until now lol. I think it is because I know I can't eat lol. But its ok. I can handle it. I do love that my surgery is like super early in the morning. That is a plus for me. Hoping everything goes well tomorrow. No sure what all they do for pre op testing and pre admitting into the hospital. Hope everyone is doing great!!

Ahaha!!! I just found myself thinking "maybe I should shave my legs if I'm going to be wearing those skimpy gowns" lol silly I know!

Ha! I shaved mine. I knew I wouldn't be able to for a few days and that drives me nuts.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow :-)

Hello' date=' doing as well as can be expected. I too have not felt hunger but I still try my best to keep up with my meals and liquids. I still have quite a bit of pain on my left side and have to get around with a cane. However, it is slowly improving each day. I haven't ventured out of my apartment since my two night stay at the hospital. So I just walk Laos around the apartment to get moving. I have also had a horrible sore throat. Hurts to swallow but I am doing salt Water gargle. I hope it goes away soon the only real relief from it is sf Popsicles. Hope you are doing well Montage.[/quote']

I hope you feel better soon. I had to get a timer for my liquids. I don't drink nearly enough, never have.

Don't do it. I did and when you bath with the soap they give you preop it stings and causes red bumps
