Just read the Memorial Forum.....
For me I just did not read it as I knew the realities of this surgery and also the fact that if my Lord and Savior wanted me home with Him then there was nothing that I could do about it. In light of that - you have an excellant surgeon and the Kane Center's track records is fabulous. Dr JW was the assisting at my DH's WLS and he is fine almost 6 years later. So, do yourself a favor and stay off that page.

I don't know what to say, but this is how I felt when I had my Surgery,
I was 375lbs, could not move much, Legs swelling, they hurt
back hurt all the time,
My mind want to go but my body said NO WAY
I was not living any more just taking up space,
My PCP said when I told him I want to have RNY, He said to me,
(YOU COULD DIE OR NOT HAVE A GOOD LIFE)
my reply was ( Am I living now?)
I know I had to do this or I would not be around long
so I felt it was the only thing for me , I put it in gods hands
I don't know how much over weight you are, or how you health is, and as for the others that have not made it thought the surgery for what every reason, You have to know that ANY Surgery has risks,
I had Faith in my Surgeon and her team,
I wish you all the luck in your journey in what every you deiced to do,
If you need to take you can always pm me and I will give you my #.

Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
I think you are right to ask "Why are you doing this to yourself?" I know this is a scary thing to do but life is not without risks. Your choice is have the surgery and take the small risk or try to diet again without the tools or live obese...
Instead of looking at the memorial forum...look at the picture page. Look at all these people who have had WLS and live...happy full lives... that can be you in less than a year.
You have so much to live for, look it is obvious by your picture that you are a very pretty girl inside an obese body. You can't believe the difference this is going to make in you. I am 58 yrs old and let me tell you it is fun, fun, fun having people see you and be so surprised. I just hit my 1 yr anniversary of just starting my weight loss and I have lost 91 lbs...I am smaller than I have been most of my adult life. I feel great and I look better and younger than I have in years....
You deserve this chance for yourself but what your doing isn't helping you to find the courage to do this so stay off that page until after your surgery and do look at all those successful people.
Remember my mantra: Take pride in what you done have faith in what you can be.
