I have been working towards surgery since the end of last year and started my appointments in January. I’ve finished my nutrition classes, psych evaluation, gallbladder ultrasound, two rounds of blood work, met with the surgeon, everything I have to do. My surgeon’s office is just waiting to get the approval letter from the psychologist and then they will call me back to schedule my surgery. Realizing I’m getting this close, though, has me suddenly nervous. If I do this, it will change the way I eat and drink for the rest of my life. The finality of it is making me worried. What if something goes wrong? What if I have complications? What if I regret having the surgery? I’m 28, close to my highest weight, and feel like this is a last option for me, but I’m worried that something will go wrong or that I’ll be one of the few that has complications that make me miserable. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any advice? Thanks for your help!
