SliminDownThick 69 Posted May 29, 2014 Hi all. I am getting sleeved tomorrow. I've had surgery before but this is different. My mom went on for surgery on April 3rd and got a blood clot and passed away April 4th. Just about 2 months ago. She was my main support. My in case of emergent person. I've found myself breaking down. Now I'm mostly afraid of dying and leaving my 3 year old daughter alone. She's lost 2 people in the past 8 months. I'm just stressed and can't sleep.

I'd be more concerned about a person who wasn't scared the night before. Sure it's risky and complications can and do happen. This surgery gave me my life back. I wasted 10 years on the sofa eating myself to death. I'd gladly have this surgery again. 5 nelle1230, barbb3, SliminDownThick and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fixerupper 335 Posted May 29, 2014 I'm so sorry for your loss. I think most of us were scared but i can especially see why you would be. I was very scared as well. I just had to hold onto the belief that I was giving my children the gift of a full, rich, active life with me. 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
