NERVOUS ABOUT MY SUGERY HELP
You have to look at your surgery as a positive step to changing your life and improving your health. I am not going to lie to you, I was worried about doing this surgery. I had struggled with the decision for over five years. In that time, I contracted type II Diabetes and I worried with that. The biggest fear for me was what would happen to my kids if I died. But you have to look at this as a positive step, think about what your life is going to be like with all of the extra weight off.
I am almost eight weeks out, and I don't regret anything about the surgery. When I woke up following the surgery, I didn't even feel a whole lot of pain. The gas was worse than the surgery and this was my first major surgery. When you start to feel anixety, come onboard to this site and look around. The support you will get from people here will help you, I know they helped me.
Don't panic. All will be ok.
Best,
Frances
