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!!

To Montage:

You have numbness around your incisions b/c your nerves have been cut. They need time to regenerate. It should come back in a couple of months. I do have one old incision however that some spots the feeling never came back. your arm though is a different story. Unless it's where the IV was maybe :-)

6 days post op and still on Clear Liquids and so far I haven't killed anyone. I'm gonna say this was a good day

Best wishes to you guys having surgery tomorrow. May the fart gods smile kindly upon you in the coming days. I'm pretty sure I read that in a fortune cookie or something.

Surgery Tuesday and I am scared and nervous....no sleep in my future I can already tell

You are going to do great. I was exactly where you are one week ago. I had mine last Tuesday. I only slept a bit the night before thanks to Ambien...I had some trouble sleeping because I was so hungry....And nervous. Just think, in one week it will be behind you and you will feel so much better. Best of luck to you on Tuesday. It's normal to be scared and nervous. If you have any good sleeping pills I would take one Monday night.

Best of luck Tuesday- right behind you as mine is Wed

I am so very excited to share my progress with you today. It is amazing what a difference no insulin makes in my weight loss. I weighed last on Wednesday because I had weighed at the doctor’s office on the Wednesday before that and wanted to see what a week did. I lost 8 pounds that week. I switched it to Monday today because my surgery is on Monday in a week so that way I will be on track for Mondays from now on. Long story short (I know, too late) from Wednesday to Monday – 5 days – I have lost 14 pounds. That is 27 pounds on the pre op diet in two weeks and 10 pounds prior to that for a total of 37 pounds all together. Thank you all for your continued prayers.
