In answer to your question - what do you fear? #1 is that I have anxiety over the unknown... surgery will probably be in October or November is my guess at this point. I'm afraid of the risks/complications - yet even in being afraid I know that the benefits for my health will outweigh them.. I'm anxious because of people like my sister who says with her mouth that I had better be sure this what I want to do ....as she is shaking her head side to side (as in no way) and I can hear her thoughts saying, "you just haven't tried hard enough at diet and exercise". Ironically, I'm the one who used to shake their head and say that same thing to myself .........but after years of serious effort with minimal progress, I've recognized the need for alternatives....anyway, I'm afraid of what people will think because they don't really know my story. I'm afraid that my efforts at being open and honest, instead of hiding behind my weight, will only get me hurt emotionally. Need I continue with the things that I'm afraid of....? LOL. Yes, I have fears and anxiety but I can also laugh about it and know that I God is good and I can get through this and grow through the process. I'm enjoying reading about others stories. Thanks for sharing.
