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!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
