Have been scheduled for surgery! I'm so scared. It seems like you read more bad stories that good ones. I'm so scared about everything from being put to sleep to learning how to eat.

You will be fine. I don't think there are more bad than good. Maybe you are just focussing on them because you are nervous. It will be over before you know it, and the learning about eating is so gradual. I havent been that aware of taking on a whole new way of eating because it is one tiny step at a time. Best of luck to you!

Yeah, I was brave though a little nervous going in to it and nearly lost it when I got back to the hotel room after the surgery. Everything came crashing down, man it was a tough ride. You would NOT be normal if you weren't concerned at least a little bit about it. We all were.

Being 1 year 4+ months out I can look back and say it was worth every minute of it. NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING I have ever done for myself has paid off like the VSG has. It SAVED, then TRANSFORMED my life.

Rootman, that is really good to hear and what a huge success it has been for you. That is an amazing weight loss. Every time I see these types of posts from people who have "been there, done that", it really gives me confidence that I am so doing the right thing.
