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!!

Thanks y'all!! I'm waiting to go get prepped now!

Don't cry like I did LOL

A thread like this should be a must read. Celebrations of farts & poops have not come up in my early stages. I have had just my initial appointment and it was over informative to read so many stories of people going through this stage of the journey in one thread. Lots of successes and struggles.

Prayers for you Kathy good luck!

That means you will be done by the time I go in. I am praying for all of my surgery buddies tomorrow! I am so excited, filled with anxiety and nervous about my day tomorrow, oh and I should say STARVING!! The crystal light just isn't doing it anymore

Best Wishes!!!!

Good luck! Hope all is well for you

Thank you so much. I'm a bit nervous

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

Wow, that is awesome! Great job and keep going!

I've survived day 1 of my liquid diet. Only 2 days to go before my surgery on Thursday. Really jittery. I can't wait for this all to be over and to take my spot on the loser's bench!!
