SelfLoveJourney

Thank you, everyone!! I appreciate you all sharing your insight with me. It means a lot

Thank you ALL so much for your input, reflections, insight and for sharing your own personal experiences. I have read and re-read each and every post and I am taking it all in. I suppose if we didn't feel nervous about going through a life changing surgery, that would be an entirely different concern. But I truly appreciate you all taking the time to share your experiences and thoughts. Thank you!!! I have alot to think about

Hi Everyone! I am here for some advice, input, personal stories, etc. I am a 46 year old female and started my WLS journey back in March. My surgeon approved me as a candidate for VSG and my insurance required 6 months of nutritional counseling. I have also gone through the psych eval and EGD. I have my final pre-op with the surgeon next week and then she submits everything to my insurance company for authorization. I am starting to have serious doubts about going through surgery. I am terrified of losing my hair. I am perimenopausal and have hypothyroidism so my hair is already thin. I am also just scared in general of the procedure, and any possible side effects. Does anyone regret having surgery? Anyone ever get this close and cancel? I'm just a ball of nerves and honestly don't know if I'm making the right decision.
