I am scheduled for 9/17 and I am feeling like chickening out too. I am so concerned about GERD and esophogeal dilation and nausea and Vitamin deficiencies. Losing my beautiful hair which is so healthy and also, looking gaunt- sickly- and not well- after this is all said and done. It's easy to say- hey you're on a death march - if you've got over 100 lbs to lose. I don't, I have about 65 lbs to lose. Still not a small number- and I have never been successful at it. But going through this with a 35BMI and sleep apnea- it can get crazy anxiety weighing the postives and negatives. Postives, should it work, are really encouraging. I just need to hear from other people- who haven't had complications. It looks like when I read the internet, that EVERYBODY has complications. GERD can lead to another surgery. OR a doctor might want to convert to a gastric bypass to fix it. I am only 65lbs overweight what if that becomes my only option? These thoughts are insidious- and are filling my head and my stomach- which has been feeling really bad over the last 2 days as I am inside of the 2 week window.

I wonder the same thing. I am pre-surgery- scheduled to go in on September 17!!! I weigh 213 and I am 5'4.. Pre-diabetic and sleep apnea. I worry that I will look sickly- I don't want to look pointy- alot of people seem to look pointy to me. You know what I mean? I want to be somewhere between thin and curvy. Not pointy. I also don't want to be bald hahaha. These are my fears. I am 50 years old. And ready for this- I am so tired I can't tell you. I also need a kick in the ass. And I know this is going to be one for me.
