My surgery is the 19th, but I go for my pre-surgical testing this coming Saturday. I'm fighting a small cold this week. I hope and pray that it doesn't interfere with my results. :unsure:

You are very brave. I wish you all the best and especially after, once you are back home. The good thing about this site is the mortal support we can give each other!

Yes, this site looks fantastic for that so I'm glad I found it. I'm not sure if I'm brave, or just plain crazy. Time will tell, but I'm tired of being fat, wearing ugly clothes, and having no energy. I'm definitely looking forward to being down a good 75lbs by summer (my first goal). I'm so tired of hot miserable summers because of wanting to cover up. My second goal, to snow ski next winter. I miss skiing which was something I enjoyed before packing on the weight. So excited to be able to make goals like that.

I'm scheduled January 16th. Also in Charlotte, NC.

Pre-op diet starts in the New Year. Trying to wean myself off regular coffee this week in preparation.

Happy New Year & Happy New YOU to everyone having surgery in January :)

I totally agree with you Shelly420! I too am tired of the whole fat thing after 15 years of dieting. I'm looking forward to wearing a swimsuit and not feel fat, to not be the "fat friend", of being able to run and have more energy and stamina. I'd like to lose about the same as you by summer, and then keep on going. I've got a couple of friends who know what I'm doing and who support me, I've told the rest of my friends and my family that I'm having a hernia fixed (this is true too!!). Exciting indeed! Please do let me know how it all goes!!

I realize I will probably have hanging flesh but I can't stand this body either. Regardless of people that say I'm beautiful I can't see it at all anymore. I can't look beyond it. Jan 16th is going to be the birth of a new me

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
