Just received my surgery date today! 2/22! Putting through insurance next week! Excited but all of a sudden nervous! Anxious about the insurance approval, the surgery itself, and life afterwards but my excitement certainly outweighs the worries. Would be great to find a few people going through it around the same time! ????

mine is the 19th I would love to be surgery buddies

me too Joni.

This will be cool, a good size group of us who can stay in touch here, compare notes and encourage each other, very good!! And two of you on Lincoln's birthday!!!

feb 23

Feb 2 and I can't hardly wait I'm taking 2 weeks off work will go back to work on 2/16

I got my insurance approval today and will have a March 1 surgery date!! ????

Feb 10th, then going back to work on the 21st so 11 days to recuperate as much as possible here's hoping this ll work out

I really am so thrilled for everybody here. I can't wait to hear about the few days leading up, Then surgery, I really want to know what everybody feels like, eat, body/stomach adjustment.....everything for the 7 days post op. That I am unclear on completely. I know what my diet will be like, but I am anxious to know about energy levels. Also, one of my biggest fears is feeling parched. I am such an iced tea with splenda guzzler. So many people are worried about food cravings, I am worried about how not having 8 Tervis Tumbles of iced tea and splenda a day is going to unfold for me.

Wishing everybody all the best. Keep us posted on all things amazing new chapter of life.
