danelle235 79 Posted April 19, 2013 I just made the mistake of reading about some complications before bed... now I'm at an all-time anxiety high... So worried about clots since my flights are 6 hours long on my way home from Mexico. I knew about complications, but reading the testimonials is scary!!! omg... praying so hard for complication free..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted April 19, 2013 Deep breaths.... Yes there is a risk to having this surgery but when the obesity gets to the point of being deadly in itself.. they are risks worth taking. 4 Groovinchikin, Carirod, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly3 495 Posted April 19, 2013 Danielle, I read some scary stuff as well.....I had some anxiety for about a week. I'm so much calmer because I know I'm doing the right thing & I need this! Remember WHY you're doing this surgery in the 1st place! When is your surgery? Mine is in June. 2 No game and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xine78 25 Posted April 19, 2013 Omg. Yes. I made the mistake of freaking myself out by watching the procedure on YouTube. My current fear are blood clots as well! !! My surgery is may 6th! You know the risks involved so i suggest you stop reading anything else scary. Especially at night even things are more scary! 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted April 20, 2013 Eh, I figure I had a lime sized brain tumor removed from my brain and lived. I must be far too ornery to give in to a stupid blood clot or leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
