| I have a date!
Just had to tell everyone - I have a date! May 16th for my surgery, surgeon wants to see me 3-4 weeks before for the pre-op testing.
Since I started this journey, in December 2005, it will be only about 6 months, which I'm very grateful for.
Have told people at work my date, though they think it's for hiatal hernia repair only - have also told my family the same thing (except for my husband who, of course, knows the truth). Also told a couple of friends the truth, but for the most part, this is my issue (weight), and how I deal with it is my business.
Just wanted to share that I got a date - looking forward (kind of) to surgery, and really more looking forward to this time next year when we'll be on a cruise, I hope to be a lot lighter!
Hurray!!

I also told people I had a hiatal hernia repair. Congrats on getting your date. That is such a feeling of satisfaction.

congrats  I did'nt tell anyone at work either, they just thought I was going on vacation because I used vacation time. And by the time I came back, my walking was back up to speed and I wasn't in any pain. Only three people knows, my hubby, my best friend, and my brother.

I just got my date yesterday and I will be "under the knife" 24th April.cant wait for it :)
I told my colleagues that Im having my gallbladder taken out. I dont think anybody here (Czech republic) ever heard of the hital hernia and I would have to explain a lot. On the other hand Im nut sure how I will explain the big weight loss (I hope I will have a big weight loss):) :cheer2:
Good luck to you!
