What Do You Fear Most?



Recommended Posts

My biggest fear is something going wrong during the surgery and I die... Second, it's having extremely loose skin that flaps around everywhere, third, it's losing all of my hair and last but not least its getting kidnapped in Tijuana... Can we say hypochondriac much? Lol

of course your fears are real and valid...we all have them..but my biggest fear was not having surgery so that is why i posted that..isn't that was the post was about, our biggest fears???the surgery is non reversible and life altering so please don't think that i'm down playing any of that. I never once said the surgery wasn't a "BIG" deal so please dont put words in my mouth. this surgery is the BIGGEST decision of my life thus far as im sure is was for everyone on here.. good luck with your weight lose

We will still be hard to carry postoperative so we will be safe about the kidnapping part Jes! But I relate to your fears totally. Anesthesia scares me so much! Especially cuz I'm high BMI.

Not lose anymore weight I have been very very slow 3 1/2 weeks and I'm only down 10lb. Biggest fear not dropping any more pounds and being fat forever. I don't worry about losing hair there are hair extensions and designer wigs.

I'm losing slowly too. BUT, I haven't gained any weight back that i've lost and at this point in the past, I would have. Wouldn't you? So lets just keep plugging along!!

(I like your new pix!!)

Failure. 6 wks out and down 14 pds I feel like i did this drastic surgery for nothing. It sucks. Could care less about hair loss it will grow back.

Mufasasmom- it's NOT for nothing!! It will come off. It really will.

I fear that being thin won't actually fix anything. I've been very large since high school- I don't have any concept of what it's like to be a "normal" size- that's scary.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
