Less than 60 days to the beginning of a new me. Getting excited, I find myself thinking about it all day and all night. Anyone else pre-op for march? How did you handle the wait?

I am 34 and pre-op, my surgery is scheduled for March 11. I am super excited but also getting very nervous. I am not afraid of the surgery, I am scared to death about the new life coming my way. I am terrified about future regrets. I love food and completely understand that it will take a lot of time before I can have many things I now love. I am also concerned about the stages, I am sure instructions will be given and the doctors will be available for any questions I might have. I also find myself thinking about the surgery all the time. When is your surgery date?

Good luck and best wishes on the new life!!! :)

I am 33. My surgery is scheduled for March 12th. I am excited for the changes to come and the whole new active lifestyle that I hope to have. One fun thing that I have been looking forward to doing is zip lining. :-) I too get nervous when thinking about the stages that we all go through after surgery. I am glad that I have support in friends and family. Also, I am glad to have come across this app for additional support.

My surgery is scheduled for March 13!!! I am also somewhat nervous about it, but I think the thing I wonder and fret about is loose skin after achieving my goal weight... I have heard some people say it will mainly go back into place and others say it won't.

I'm going to be march or April. I'm also nervous because of my love for food. But I'm looking forward to not worrying if I will fit in a roller coaster seat and having the bar squash my thighs! I would also love to learn how to swing dance one day.

      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!!
