I can't go until tax return time and I'm consumed with it. I wish I only had a few weeks!!!

Same here. I've postponed it a few times and it will finally happen in Feb. I'm back to obsessing about it and driving my family nuts

Yup!! My husband actually told me he was tired of hearing about it. At least yours are willing to listen.

I'm trying to preoccupy my mind, but I'm a SAHM, bored out of my mjnd, waiting.

It'll fly, right? Lol

He's listening reluctantly, lol! My daughter whom I thought would never get tired of listening told me she wished I'd just get it done already because she's tired of me researching and forcing her to look at pictures, lol! My feelings were really hurt! My 16 year old son has been the one who listens patiently can you believe that!

I'm right there with you, my husband says I have a "one track mind" :)

I've got to wait until Mid February..it's sooo hard to be patient after struggling without success for so long

I try to tell myself that since I've been overweight pretty much all my life (and I'm 37), 4 more months until surgery shouldn't be so bad, but I want it worse than a little kid wants toys for Christmas.

Icon, that is exactly how I feel. Also, I have been pregnant and doing the 9 month wait SIX times. I think about the anticipation and countdowns etc and how fast they came. How quickly in was sitting in that hospital bed holding my wrinkly new bundle of joy. So fast! And now? I barely remember any of my pregnancies.

It'll fly by. In the meantime, I just want to stop obsessing and live my life. Every little moment with my children, the holidays, and enjoy them almost as if there isn't a HUGE life changing event in my future. Who knows how ill feel after. Or if there will be an after. I'm actually learning to enjoy the ride.

Oh I totally know what you mean!! I just try not to talk about it all the time with my hubby he has heard so much of it! Last night I was on here (late) while in bed reading about complications (which I have already researched inside and out) and he took my phone and shut it off and said stop it come here! He held me and I fell asleep. You really can drive yourself crazy! My surgery is the 15th and I am so excited! God bless you all!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
