My surgery is this Monday May 17th @ 8:30am I can not express enough how terrified I am of being put to sleep. That is my MAIN problem here!! I fear that I might now wake up or something might go wrong while I am asleep IE stop breathing or heart stop!! I have asked several people this week even ones that are not lap band patients about being put to sleep and they all tell me that it will be just fine...... I am still however crying...... Maybe I should just back out and lose weight the natural way..... I have tried and failed so many times..... and now with all these new health problems I have ..... Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Borderline diabetic, Acid Reflux...etc. I don't know how I am going to manage doing it naturally!! I am so torn and my surgery is practically here. My mother tells me I am getting on that table weather I like it or not.... she says she does not want to lose her daughter at age 28 from health issues.... I on the other hand DO NOT want to lose my life from being put to sleep!! SERIOUSLY I need a lot of prayers and some guidance on this one guys.......... I am a NERVOUS wreck who need to get it together........ FAST!!!!:w00t::confused::laugh::frown::frown:
