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 to everyone today. On my way! To the hospital. Ready to be on the losers bench with everyone.

Congrats Kathy. So glad everything went well. You're on the road to a new you!

So nervous going in soon. So glad my husband is by my side.

Good luck to u as well. I'm here now getting prepped.

About to get my babies up kiss them goodbye, send them to school, and then fiance and I heading to the hospital. Praying Gods grace over all of us having surgery today.

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.

Glad your doing well. Good luck to all who have surgery today! Prayers to you all.

Heading to the hospital in about three hours. Trying to get some last minute things packed up and ready, and finishing some laundry. I slept well last night with the help of my friend Ambien. We are getting a foot of snow today and I thin I am more anxious now about my husband having to drive me to the hospital in it. School for my kids has been cancelled and I hear the roads are pretty bad. I have been praying all morning for all of my surgery buddies today, those who have yet to have their procedure and those who are already on the losers bench, and for all of our surgeons. I will try to post something tonight if I am feeling up to it, bringing my iphone, kindle fire, and laptop so I am sure I can get one fired up enough to let you know how I am doing. Sending love and prayers to all!

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']

Hope your throat start starts to feel better I am 5 days post op. I also have not had any hungry feeling yet either.
