Surgery seems like a long way away!

I just received my surgery date of October 5, 2022… Seems like such a long way away! Using this time to mentally prepare. I am 60 years old. At times it seems that I have waited too long. Then again I enjoy playing with my grandchildren and finding the energy to do so with this weight is extremely hard. Counting down… 75 more days!

The days will zip by before you know.

I sure hope so! Seems like this is all that I can think about.

I know the feeling. My surgeons office told me it’s at least 3 months after I get every thing completed before I’ll have surgery. I’m just hoping I have it before my birthday next year. I’m using the time to improve me.

Well you are giving me support by taking the journey… i’m 49 and a doctor said operation is best for young people with high BMI. I changed the doctor after that. My MGB will be in Dec

Ok, English isn’t my home language - surgery is the right word for “operation”.

Great news! My surgery has been moved up for April 24… I am ready to start watching what I eat and then start my two week liquids… May need words of encouragement during that time! I am so ready to start a new life.

Wow. That’s a lot sooner. Good for you.

I hear you. I sometimes play word games with myself to make it seem closer. For example, instead of saying it's 6 weeks away, I say it's "next month". It's silly, but that feels a lot closer to me!

Yes that is the correct word.

It will fly. Use this time to address any reasons why you might overeat or soothe with food so when you get to the post-op you'll already have tools to address it and not have to fight it WITH healing from surgery.
