So My surgery date finally happened today. I am scheduled for June 4th. I am super stoked but also scared if that makes sense. I often wonder will I look 100 years old since I am already 55 and I wonder if my face will cave in. Maybe I am over reacting thoughts in my brain. It is always scary I am sure whenever anyone goes in for surgery. My son does not want me to have the surgery since he lost his only brother my son and also my husband was killed a few months ago in a wreck. I am his only person left so he does not share in my enthusiasm.

I understand, im 50 and have those same thoughts. Its normal to be scared, have fears. And sit down with your child and tell him that your having the surgery to have more years with him. Ee haven't told our kids yet ages 33, 30, 25, 20 and 17 due to not wanting them to worry. We got this, we will be better for our kids. Keep me posted, and im always here [emoji16]

i agree with Kimbero, this is scary for anyone! i am in that same scared stage. but doing this now gives him more time with you! with medical science advances, he shouldnt worry. maybe have him come to talk to your surgeon to tell him how minimal the risks of the actual surgery is, and how big the pay off will be after, all the health benefits. wishing you the best

aww Thanks I am so happy you are having it too. It is a bit scary because being in 50's. My son is 31 he thinks I am fine being 280. Hopefully our kids will be happier later when they see everything turns out fine. I know I am miserable carrying all this weight around and it sure doesnt come off as easy as when I was a young adult. I thnk as we get older it disables us to be able to do the things we use to do. Like I cant even get on my knees now because of course my weight will hurt too much. I will be happy to see the day when i can get on my knees in the floor and sit easily again. I hope yours goes well. Lets keep in touch!! :)

      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!!
