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!!

Hi, I am having a problem and need some advice, my surgery was March 20th. Ladt Wednesday my diet was advanced to soft

Foods i. Today I advanced further to deli meats, canned pears and peaches vegetables etc. I had some deli chicken1.5 slices and some roasted carrots with cauliflower and onion..I think I didn't chew the carrot enough annd have had hiccups and inability to swallow anything...it may have been a small obstruction. It seemed to clear as soon as vomited. It's been about 5 hours since I ate so I tried a little egg salad,,,my stomach is slightly painful and I couldn't eat more then two teaspoons...has anyone else had this? How long did it take to go back to normal?

Once you vomit you should stick to clear liquids for 24 hours. But since you cleared the obstruction you should be feeling normal again pretty soon. Best of luck!
