Kelly, Only you know what decision is right for you. I have all the same fears and emotions that you do, especially after I read through the memorial pages! It is natural to be scared, you're not a robot, are you? Obviously your health concerns were strong enough to lead you this far, don't let fear get the best of you. :)

Kelly, I understand how you are feeling right now. I had the same fears. I read too much about this and of course I ran into info of people who died. I had the surgery September 30, 2002.(just little over 2 weeks ago) I almost flacked out at the hospital but they gave me something to relax me. Even though I was scared, I finally just told myself that if I didn't do something about this I was going to die anyway and if I didn't die, the way I was living was no way to live. There are risk in anything you do. You can die if you get in your car today. But you don't think about that. So that's how I made up my mind. And after I had it, things couldn't have been better. I had some pain, but I made myself get up and getting going and within a week I was back at work. I think it's up to you. Think positive and do what your suppose to and you will do great. I don't know if your having the lap procedure done but it's so much easier than the open way. All I can tell you is that my fears that I had were uncalled for. My biggest fear I think was change. Changing the way you live can be the biggest fear. FOOD was my best friend. I will be thinking about you. Let me know how you are doing. If you have any questions just let me know.
