The reason I ask is I'm wondering if it's just going to scare me. Am I better off just going in blind and hoping for the best? How many of you read all the stories about the pain and anguish and then felt that this helped you deal with your own surgery? I don't like pain : ) So far, the thing that scares me is having the drain pulled out believe it or not. I hate having staples removed because my skin is so sensitive and it freaks me out to have people pulling and prodding on my flesh. Go ahead and stick a needle in me but don't pinch and pull! I'm going to need a xanax I think!

Oh thanks guys I think I'll be fine. I mentioned staples because I'd had 3 c-sections and I hated that part, not because I thought I'd have them again. I was just reading about someone complaining on here about the removal of the drain and I thought, "OMG I hate stuff like that! Maybe I shouldn't be reading all of this stuff!" But, whether I read or don't read, I've committed to do this and paid the $$ so off I go, jumping in and hoping for the best.

Well, I'm about to do it. Yikes. I hope you feel better very soon. I'm going to go prepare for the gas and buy those gas strips now. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so afraid to do this and I have surgery scheduled for March 22. I'm afraid because it's a new surgery and there aren't many long term facts about how people fare. I'm a little afraid too because I had a panic attack after having my lapband removed. I'd never had one before and I actually had two after that. I don't have them now. I'm a broken person though and I need fixing. Pretty much out of other options. That's where I am and if it were my heart, I'd have surgery right? What are your thoughts?
