hey kat,
I can totally relate to you. I was soooo scared. I am a single mother with 2 children. I kept thinking if I died who would take care of them..I was terrified of going under,I had never done that before but, I realized just like some of the other posters said,i was more prone to dying from obesity complications then on the table. I made it through fine. No complications only successes!!! talk to your dr. about you concerns and take a little more time to feel more comfortable about the surgery..good luck to you..
