If you are scheduled for surgery in March, start sharing those dates. Make some friends with people who are having surgery on the same day

March 14th! RNY

March 12th

I'm the 14th! So far your date is the closest one to mine!

Hi March Bypass Buddies! My surgery was almost a year ago - March 5, 2018. I had GB RNY. I was nervous - didn't know what to expect, but determined to get healthy. Now, almost one year post-op, I am 5 pounds away from my goal (though if I stayed right where I am, I am perfectly happy). I have my eating under control - I work out 3 times per week (mostly toning and light weights) - I'm in a size 2 or 4 depending on the designer (from a size 20) and my hair is slowly growing back (I am wearing a topper in the new picture).

Pictures are worth 1000 words - so here you go!

Look forward to watching your journeys over the next year!

Roxine, congratulations! Great job! Such a good story to see just two weeks before my surgery. Good inspiration for me and others. Thank you for sharing.

Erie, I'm on March 4 as well. I think there are three of us now.

On day nine of pre-op liquids, and I feel less hungry than I did the first week. I guess my body is adjusting. I'm feeling increasingly anxious and uncertain as the date approaches, and I'm sure I will until the moment they put me to sleep. I just keep reminding myself that I've been yo-you dieting for 30 years and this is my key to good health for the rest of my life.
