Has anyone backed out of surgery?
If the thought even crosses your mind, your not ready to go through with it. be safe than sorry...I wish I'd backed out of it.. I have always regretted going through with it. I've always been told I am a success but I still regret having weight loss surgery. this surgery reminds me of when I terminated a pregnancy years ago, you get rid of one problem only to add on other problems, and trust me it does bring on other problems.9 out of 10 people have post op problems. Good luck with your decision. Hugs
90% of WLS postops have problems related to their surgery? I'd like to see the source for that statistic.
I'm curious. What do you think the percentage is of SMO individuals who suffer problems related to their weight/health? I'd bet it is a higher percentage than those who suffer postop complications. And I'd personally rather suffer from dumping than be unable to walk more than 20 feet before experiencing horrible back pain, which most definitely occurred for me prior to WLS.
I agree with your premise, Wendy. People who have reservations need to examine them in depth. WLS should not be taken lightly. I disagree with your scare tactics, however.

I think most people are slightly to very terrified going into this. It is the land of the unknown. I kept telling myself I could back out if I wanted. I was afraid of dying in surgery.... but I was dying without surgery... No regrets...
