Now that you are healthy, do you have fears for your future?

I am 14 months post op and I am truly enjoying the benefits of my wonderful weight loss. I weigh 119-120 and feel so much better!! My problem now is I have this nagging fear of my future in regards to WLS. While I was pre-op and losing weight, getting healthier and thinner were my focus. Now that the weight loss has stopped and I can think about what "I have done to myself", it is scarey. WHAT HAVE I DONE??? will occasionally skip through my thoughts. Did I REALLY need to do this? What problems may be in my future BECAUSE I had this surgery? Can someone that had their insides rearrange live to be old? Now, let me just say, I do not constantly dwell on this, it is not all-consuming so I know that I don't need meds or counselling. It is an occasional thought that didn't arrive until recently. I also wonder if I did enough research pre-op. I am very thankful that my future does not promise me diabetes or high blood pressure. But, what about other unforeseen problems. Anyone else have these thoughts?
