What Do You Fear Most?



Recommended Posts

My biggest fear is something going wrong during the surgery and I die... Second, it's having extremely loose skin that flaps around everywhere, third, it's losing all of my hair and last but not least its getting kidnapped in Tijuana... Can we say hypochondriac much? Lol

of course your fears are real and valid...we all have them..but my biggest fear was not having surgery so that is why i posted that..isn't that was the post was about, our biggest fears???the surgery is non reversible and life altering so please don't think that i'm down playing any of that. I never once said the surgery wasn't a "BIG" deal so please dont put words in my mouth. this surgery is the BIGGEST decision of my life thus far as im sure is was for everyone on here.. good luck with your weight lose

We will still be hard to carry postoperative so we will be safe about the kidnapping part Jes! But I relate to your fears totally. Anesthesia scares me so much! Especially cuz I'm high BMI.

Not lose anymore weight I have been very very slow 3 1/2 weeks and I'm only down 10lb. Biggest fear not dropping any more pounds and being fat forever. I don't worry about losing hair there are hair extensions and designer wigs.

I'm losing slowly too. BUT, I haven't gained any weight back that i've lost and at this point in the past, I would have. Wouldn't you? So lets just keep plugging along!!

(I like your new pix!!)

Failure. 6 wks out and down 14 pds I feel like i did this drastic surgery for nothing. It sucks. Could care less about hair loss it will grow back.

Mufasasmom- it's NOT for nothing!! It will come off. It really will.

I fear that being thin won't actually fix anything. I've been very large since high school- I don't have any concept of what it's like to be a "normal" size- that's scary.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
