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 want to wish all of you have surgery this month, good luck and you will be in my prayer. My surgery is 3/26/13. Excited and terrified at the same time. On the pre op liver shrink, but came up positive for h pylori so have to take a regime of antibiotics that make my stomach upset if I don't eat crackers or something with them. Going to call my surgeon coordinator tomorrow to make sure that will not hurt anything! Again, good luck all and I am so glad I found this site. Gaining a kit if knowledge from it! Have a great evening!!!

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!!

Not sure if you can have this or not but chicken broth is the best tasting thing EVER when on the liquid diet lol

Well I head to the hospital in 6 hours. I'm attempting to sleep a little before hand. Lol. I only lost 14 lbs on 2 week liquid pre op but that's better than nothing. Wish me luck.

Prayers out to my re birth crew. I will attempt to post pics. Not sure how tho.

Hey everyone! I'm about 14 hours since my surgery. Pain is bearable. I think i fought nausea more than anything. Lots of Zofran and Phenegren. I'm so happy to be done! I have a Blake drain and a g tube. Left incision under my breast hurts the most. Doing my deep breathing and coughing and anti blood clot exercises. Thanks for you prayers and you better believe Ill return the favor. Hugs to everyone!! Blessings to the who go in today.
