Hey Fellow Marchers,

I am excited to say that I will be having my RNY done the 2nd week in March. I am in my 5th month of the 6 month medically supervised weight loss program. I will have my 6th and final WLM appointment on Feb. 19th.  Then do my final blood work on March 2nd, and 2 week pre-op diet after that. Wooo Hooo. A new me is just around the corner.

YIpeee...the insurance approval came through today.   March 11 is now sealed in stone.

Crap....upper GI??   That hasnt been mentioned yet by my surgeon and she has already given me scripts for all my pre-surgical tests.      All I needed to get was some basic blood work, a chest xray and EKG.  

Happy Re-birthdays to us!

Jennie,

I haven't had panic attacks (but wouldn't be surprised if I did soon).  But, I am starting to freak out a bit in my mindabout the surgery, and my new life to be.  Again, these little freak-outs will (I'm sure) get bigger as March 2 gets closer!

Yea!! Got my date of March 18th. I will be having Lap Gastric Bypass at Madigan Army Medical Center in Fort Lewis, WA!

Hey Marchers...  I'm planned for March 16th at this point.  My periods have changed after many years of being consistantly on time and regular.  I know I know... sounds stupid to be thinking about.  I'd be mortified if I got my period on surgery day.  It's a task doing my female ritual alone...cant imagine someone else dealing with my rag changes etc.   Plus I need 1 focus at a time... healing from surgery with the added menstrual cramps... whoo - don't think I can handle that double does.  Any way.... I"M SO HAPPY to be on the Marcher's Team and soo happy to have you on the team as well. I'll definetly be needing you all post op.  Best for your continue success!

- 2 be me again
