Srreeder 78 Posted February 21, 2014 I am tenatively scheduled for Mach 25th, but still waiting on final approval from insurance. I am excited and nervous. To the Army wives, thanks for supporting our men in uniform. My husband ex-Navy and my oldest son is in Navy Class C school currently. We also have our youngest son in ROTC, Army sponsored, so it seems I may have one sailor and one soldier!!! Good luck to all!! Can't wait for our different journies to begin! 2 amc2014 and armywife123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaReeJo78 5 Posted February 21, 2014 March 4th! I'm starting my preop diet this weekend. I've never been in the hospital before so I'm pretty nervous. Good luck everybody. You'll be great! I've had multiple surgeries ranging from knee, shoulder, a couple c-sections, etc... I do have to say that my appendectomy hurt worse than my c-sections. It was all the air/gas that they pump in you. Just walk walk walk.... good luck and hope you keep us updated! 1 amc2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Srreeder 78 Posted February 21, 2014 Hoping for March 25th surgery date here, but could be delayed as we are still pending approval. This waiting is getting the best of me, I can't focus on anything else!! This site is helping calm down a little, but it continues to consume my thoughts!! I travel alot with my job and am anxious to get back on the road to get my mind off of the waiting! Good luck to all and look forward to the journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caseyann24 22 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled for March 12th. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well and I can loose some weight before surgery. I haven't lost any weight as of yet. I would be devastated if they postponed my surgery for not losing enough weight. Good Luck everyone! 2 desig1814 and amc2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
