Anyone else having surgery in Richmond, VA soon? My date is 3/16.

Im looking forward to getting this done. Been a long 6 months

It was almost a year for me when it should have been 6 months....its been worth the wait. Said done and over with and I'm excited with the new journey

Why a year

I'm not really sure besides the first time I was in his office and had my first lab work was January 2014 and I had started seeing him around sept Oct of 2013 because my son was born in Aug. And I started going a couple months after he was born....then after I did my lab work appts got set up and I did the 6m insurance requirements and it just has been going since.....until of course my surgery March 16

Wow. Well glad you are done now. I hope i don't hsve delays. I'm very anxious.

Yes Shell I hope it goes well for you sweetie! Keep in touch

Getting closer to that last office visit Shell

Im so excited. Hooefully I'll have my date soon

I'm excited for you! Keep that excitement with you when you walk through the hosipital doors the day of surgery! I did and it made it so much easier the day of surgery Don't let anxiety slip in!

Great tip. I will keep that in mind. I just really need that date. How are you doing now

Im on Facebook and would love to keep up with you if don't mind

I'm doing great! I'm shocked at how well I have done with this....I continue praying that I stay blessed with all of this, so far God has been awesome to me! I did eat something even tho I'm not supposed to have anything quite yet. Its just to the point that 2 weeks post-op come Monday, I felt the 2weeks was up and I could handle something. So far so good....I just hope it continues! Not any noises after but I do get the sensation that my stomach is running around on my left side. I'm told the movement is gas....its just rather strange feeling!

@@Kai13 I have the same funny feeling in the left size. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I had my pre op appointment today and I've been cleared for physical activity! I'm so glad. I was able to eat 1 ounce of my first meal and I'm looking forward to drinking something soon. I'm glad you are doing so well.
