I am going through the same thing. I was so sure I could do this, my surgery is 8 days away. Then, by chance, I met a nurse on the surgery floor at the hospital I'll be having the surgery who tried to talk me out of going through with it. She told me all these stories of complications, perforations, etc. She seems to believe a majority of patients end up with complications, at least in her experience. She has me scared to death now. Not just of complications from the immediate surgery, but future complications as well. I know it's what I want/need to do, but now I'm worried that the medical problems down the road will make my life miserable. More than it is now. I don't want to just lose weight, I want to be healthy. Now I worry that I could end up with worse health problems than I'm trying to be rid of and avoid.
