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!!

Had surgery on March 19th and I got home today and I am doing great. Sore but other than that I'm doing good. See my doc again Tuesday!! Walking does miracles

Yea it does! The gas sucks but if I walk its better lol. Glad u are doing well!!

Yes. Taking slow sips at a time. But doing water mixed in with va splash(strawberry kiwi) and doing hot chocolate protein mix that is hot too. With it being hot I think it helps get your tummy moving. Haven't passed gas or went number 2 yet but I have a feeling it will be soon. The tummy is the rumbling like it is coming soon lol

Me too! Tummy won't stop rumbling lol

12 hour post op and all is well. Right now my biggest pain is sore throat due to tube in throat durning surgery. Walking the halls ice chips have kept me going. Start liquid diet in 5 hours. Thanks for the well wishes. Woke up in the or after surgery to the surgical team singing me happy birthday. They had decorated my chart and gown with birthday stickers. It was nice.

I'm glad to hear everything went well my surgery was on Wednesday and the gas really sucks But I know everyone is different my birthday is on the 27th so happy birthday to you too this is our birthday present to us to look good and to be sexy and healthy LOL

I guess it's common to feel nervous!!.. If everyone else on here can do it, so can we

I started a little video diary today... It was a Little weird to talk to yourself, BUT it was suggested to me so I can follow my progress. It was pretty cool. Shared my worries and my goal... Something I can look back at and see my progression.

My surgery date is Thursday 3/28/13...:-) excited (operation new me in motion)
