Thea1965 25 Posted September 9, 2016 My surgery is October 14th. I'm so scared. I'm not scared of the surgery or the pain afterwards or anything like that, I'm scared it won't work. I have tried every diet out there and I feel like this is my last chance. I don't think I can live much longer in the shape that I'm in and I have read so many that say they didn't loose weight. I'm not concerned with looking pretty. I never have been and I don't think that is going to change. Lol. I'm not worried about how my body looks either. Yes, if I could look like Jennifer Lopez I wouldn't argue but I so want my health. I am 51 years old and have been fat my entire life but once. I starved myself for 6 months, got boney looking and was still the fat kid. When I tried to start eating healthy I gained all the weight back. I have diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pcos, and a bad thyroid. Who knows what else is hiding in me just waiting to jump out. I know I have to have this surgery, I'm just so afraid because this really is my last hope. I guess I needed to just get on here and vent my feelings. Maybe I need to write in a journal. Lol.

katie09/21/2016 137 Posted September 9, 2016 This same thing has crossed my mind before too - that it just might not work! That is terrifying!! But then I just start googling "weight loss surgery success stories" and it sets me right back on track Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
