ANYONE WHO HAS HAD REVISIONS PLEASE RESPOND

I FINALLY AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE A REVISION, AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHAT I KNOW I WANT AND NEED----I AM COMPLETELY FREAKING OUT----I KEEP READING ABOUT THE RISKS OF DEATH AND COMPLICATIONS......I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO CHAT WITH SOMEONE WHO POSSIBLY HAS GONE THROUGH SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES....I HAD A VBG IN 95, FOUND AFTER A REVISION TO A RNY IN 2000 THAT THE VBG HAD FAILED BECAUSE THE SILASTIC RING HAD SLIPPED AND SOMETHING HAD TORE (?). NOW AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH AN EXTREMELY LARGE HERNIA, THEY ALSO FOUND OUT VIA ENDOSCOPY THAT MY STOMA IS OVER TWICE THE SIZE IT SHOULD BE, AND THE SUTURES THAT WERE THERE HAVE CAME APART(?)....I HAVE STILL ABOUT 120 LBS TO LOSE AND HAVE REALLY GOTTEN SCARED.....ANY ADVICE, SUGGESTIONS, STORIES TO SHARE, WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED......THANKS
