Hello Everyone. I started tbe gastric sleeve journey in Dec. March will be month 3 for me. My insurance requires a 3 month doctor supervised weight management program. I am extremely nervous regarding complications with surgery and long term complications. In Dec., my weight was 249, today it is 244. I am 5'3" and in good health. My mother is over weight and a diabetic which is why I began this journey. My husband is supportive. I have not told anyone outside of my husband and my sister. Not only am I afraid of the surgery but I feel as if I don't need the surgery because I don't have health problems right now. Has anyone else experienced these feelings and if yes how do you overcome these fellings? My Doc has been helpful in answering my questions but my mind is saying "He has to answer your questions because he and the hospital will get money for you agreeing to have surgery and for no other reason. " Thanks for your help, Happy Teacher
