Fear

[Cherryhair 88]

My initial bariatric doc and nutritionist appt. is Wed. I meet with surgeon next week. I'm amazed at how nervous I am to just go to the appts and I do want this surgery. I'm just really scared. Was anyone else nervous even before the initial appts?

I was excited at my appts but today is totally different, my surgery may be pushed up early than what I thought and since I wasn't expecting it I am all nerves. But everything will work out in the end.

Oh, yeah, feel free to join the nervous wreck club! I was full of doubts and anxieties pre-surgery.

What if I was the one WLS does not work for?

Do I really want to have my stomach cut out?

How are people going to treat me when they find out?

How am I going to adjust to being thin after 46 years of being the biggest guy in the room?

I had all these fears and doubts, but I finally committed and have never regretted having WLS.

Here's my "last straw" video that made me make the choice. The 2nd video is my pre-op freak out. :-P
