HELP! I'm terrified, but think that WLS is the best route for me.

I'm 22yrs old 5'7" and weigh 280lbs. I gained alot of weight very quickly and suffer from depression, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and GERD. I feel that WLS is the best thing for me to do and am educating myself as much as possible, but I am SO scared. I have never had any kind of surgery before. Can anyone offer me some piece of mind and tell me what I can expect during recovery and life post-op. Will I be in pain??? For how long?? -Jessica
