My 73BMI girl would never have had WLS untill she overcame her fears. However it was not fun. She struggled for 10 years with the fear of WLS. It took the PAIN of a busted gallblatter that she had put off removing for years. She had put up with the off/on/off pain from the gallblatter. When it became an emergency and was wishing to die to stop suffering she went to the hospital. I was on the phone to her doctor to get her commited aginst her will to save her life when she relented.

To make a long story short, gallblatter removed, recovered. set up WLS and now has lost almost 200 pounds. She is very happy now that it is over and is a supporter of taking control for yourself. She is normal and still has fears, but you can not stop her. It's "get out of my way becuse I have a life"
