Oh man.. Tell me about it! It feels like I've literally checked out of life.. And all i see is my surgery.. I can't wait 'til I get it. I took a break from school since June, I'm working less each month, and I'm hitting all the doctor appointments out the park! Seriously, I'm calling to re-schedule my appointments to an earlier date, well whenever I can, and I'm literally going to different appointments back to back in one day.

My pre-op surgery date consult w/ my surgeon is on Sept 18th.. and it seems like forever from now. I'm struggling keeping my weight down because I have to lose 30lbs before surgery.. It sucks! But I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

I can't wait to get to that light at the end of the tunnel.. =]

all i can think about is getting my sleeve.

all i want to do is read and write on the forums.

the only things in my calendar that mean anything to me are the appointments for my pre-op tests... everything else is a waste of my time.

is my obsession unusual? i'm finding myself less than engaged at work, which is a first. i usually forget everything else while i'm at the office, i've always been very good at compartmentalizing. i resent the time spent doing anything that does not lead toward my surgery.

can you relate?

Yup it's like when one hears a song and that song repeats over and over in your head! All I hear I in my head is "I can't wait" over and over and over and over! Even when I see my reflection at a window...that inner voice sounds! It's crazy, but good crazy...Sept 26...can't wait!!!! LOL

When I first started on this journey, I was obsessed. I've had so many delays though, that my obsession comes and goes so that I don't drive myself nuts worrying. I do have an obsessive/planning /type A personality though. I remember doing weight watches years ago and becoming obsessed with food and points, etc. It got to the point of being unhealthy. I'm trying to obsess in moderation now. If there is such a thing. ☺

      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!
