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!!

Four more days here also. Right there with you Rena and miss Tiff. I'm not nervous yet probably that day ill freak out! I just know I'm going to say going into the OR "What the hell did I get myself into here". Hope hope hope I made the right decision. I hope I see the surgeon before I go under did everyone here see there's? I'm not doing to bad on the pre op because I do a shake in the AM then a protein bar for lunch and a shake, the I get 4-6 ounces Lean protein, 1 cup cooked veggies or 2 cups raw veggies and if I want a 1/2 c of a carb and 1 tsp fat. I just make sure I get that 60-75 grams of protein. I don't know how you ladies can do it with just fluids. Well at least it won't be long now good luck ladies!

I wish I only have 4 more days lol but I'm only 7 days in on 21 days. I'm jealous u can at least eat LOL the all liquid diet isn't easy but u do what u gotta do and it gets easier everyday. Good luck to you

Good luck to you all tomorrow. Don't be scared you will be fine. I'm 2 days post op and I woke up after surgery feeling like I didn't even have it.

I do have to say after anesthesia wore off the gas pains came.

Feeling pretty good. I have to be proactive about my pain meds but the discomfort is very manageable. I get to shower and lose the I'VE in the morning and the surgeon said if I have a good day he may let me go home a day early.

Surgery in the morning!!! I can honestly say I'm not nervous yet but who knows if I'll be able to sleep! See you losers soon!

Best of luck!! Hope it goes quickly and smoothly! I have been out of hospital 1 week today. And never felt better.

If I have to drink one more protein shake I'm gonna vomit!! Ugh!!! 4 more days!! I can do this!!

You need to find one you like and fast, cause you gonna be having them for awhile after surgery too.

Took my dressings off yesterday, and the little slits(key holes) are all closed up an healing nicely. My surgeon did an amazing job. Ppl cannot believe how small the holes are and that they did all that work through them.

I am happy with everything, and being almost 21lbs down yesterday since pre-op diet, I feel amazing. And it really does get better every day.

Way to go! I was thrilled when I stepped on my scale yesterday that my weight had not really changed since my pre op weight. I am looking forward to seeing those numbers drop.

Oh they will drop. Currently I lose about 1lbs every 2nd day. And on the other days nothing. But it's still down, so that's all hat matters.

Good luck to you all tomorrow. Don't be scared you will be fine. I'm 2 days post op and I woke up after surgery feeling like I didn't even have it.

Lol! I woke up and thought the same thing! Even asked my nurse I guess I was lucky with the gas pains and didn't have any. Made up for it with other problems though! Lol!
