I was scared too. it's a normal feeling - I just got to where I was more scared of the complications of obesity than I was of surgery and lifestyle changes.

I was scared too and I am grateful that it was only four weeks between my consult and the surgery any longer and I might have backed out. I'm older and I had been 200-220 (5'2") for more then 20 years and I exercised regularly exercise was never my issue it was all food. I had been working on it and the best I was able to manage was to not gain. I knew I mean I really knew that I would never succeed and I was feeling the effects of my obesity on my health. For me it was now or never. I will be six years out come Aug I don't need any blood pressure or cholesterol drugs anymore my good cholesterol is 92 (they like it to be above 40). I hike 7 miles a day five days a week which is what I was doing pre sleeve but it is so much easier and I no longer get palpitations on the hills. Like I said I am older I will be sixty this year and I love my sleeve have no regrets and think this is the best decision I have ever made.
