I was to have surgery on March 9th, but my primary care doctor did not like that I was low in iron. So off to the GI doctor to have a colonoscopy on Monday and when that is clear (ALREADY HAVING ANXIETY ATTACKS ABOUT IT), I will probably have an upper GI because he thinks I may be bleeding around my stomach or I have been taking too much Aleve.

I am more scared about the colonoscopy then I was abou the surgery, is that crazy??

My date is March 15th, can't wait!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Hey we have the same date! And like others have said you're not alone, you have all of us here going through it with you. Do you have to do a pre-op liquid diet?

It is hard to be around other people eating.  I have 2 teenagers and they pretty much fend for themselves so I don't have to cook for them.   I usually don't stay in the same room while they are eating either.  I could do it but it's just easier if I don't see whatever they are eating.  I always have a "meal" at the same time they eat if I can because it's easier to resist food if you're not hungry.  My surgery is March 13.

Heading out to Miami tomorrow for my surg on Tuesday! Probably won't be have time to get on here until after I'm back so I want to say to all my March surgery buddies: Prayers to you all for safe travels, surgery and fast healing!
