Bariatricpal scared me shitless
elpasovet replied to elpasovet's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Yes see I wouldn't be so afraid with a surgeon like yours...that would make me feel at ease. This surgeon here only has been doing it since 2008 if I'm not mistaken.... -
So disheartened and defeated.

I appreciate you replying to my posts. I am not going to rush into any decision making. At first I was 100% sure. Then I started reading horror stories posted here and it scared me so I am going to take some time and make an educated decision when the time is right with my family and I. In the meantime I'm going to keep reading here ...with all you fine folks... Yes I am overweight and have health issues but I want to make sure this is the right decision for my children as well....it may be that the surgeon they had me seeing doesn't do these surgeries a lot so I may try to find another surgeon who has more experience and then my anxiety wouldn't be such an issue. -

Okay I guess I fit that criteria then. That's probably how I got approved for the surgery lol -

elpasovet replied to elpasovet's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
It was the complications, future surgeries/revisions and pain that scared me. I'm still approved for surgery and still on the fence...I'm just going to take this decision slowly :-) -

Do you have some way of relieving the pain? I've heard of heating pads helping some and also Tylenol (liquid)....I hope you start to feel better soon... -

Thanks for all the replies ????. I have decided to wait on the surgery since my husband just got orders to alaska...this has to take a back seat. We have to be there by November 10th. -
I had a "drain" when I had plastic surgery...actually 3 of them. Don't worry it doesn't hurt when they pull it out. Trust me I can't take pain at all I promise it won't hurt.

This is why I backed out of surgery. I will take my chances at weight watchers... -
I had to cancel my seminar (first step) because my "friend" backed out on me at the last minute from watching my kids for me. The seminar is 3 hours long and now I have to wait a whole month before going to the next one. I feel your pain and it SUCKS!!!

Man I hope you feel better soon...have you told your doctor all of this? What did they say?

Thank you for responding everyone... I have fatty liver, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, PCOS, and BMI is 40. I know I really need this surgery but I am so scared. I have issues with anxiety too and after reading horror stories and watching numerous YouTube videos I am feeling depressed. I feel either way I am doomed and a feeling of hopelessness has set in. Going to see my primary doctor tomorrow and surgeon on Thursday and I hope someone talks me through this...
