What is your biggest fear after surgery?



Recommended Posts

The main thing is that this too will fail and I'll always be over 400lbs. Plus complications/ leaks. Moving around right after the surgery. That my mom is spending this money out of her 401K and it will be all for nothing. ;(

Omg.. What a sweet loving mom! You're so blessed. Don't worry about success.. Once you're on your way you will love your journey and always see the light at the end of the tunnel.. Or scale in our situation ;-)

Don't worry it will be all for something! You will do this and the weight will come off. You will do great!! Best wishes.

I fear another failed WLS. I am afraid of getting my hopes up and not getting results.

And (because I have faith this will all work for me despite my fears) I'm afraid my husband won't leave me alone once I'm really losing ;) He's pretty darn handsy now!!! lol

Complications leaks and or worse hospitalization. I'm afraid of how my little girl would handle the situation if I went through that. Also the head hunger

I think a that is my worse gear too! Having anything else go wrong. I mean I am overweight with no other issues. So my fear is something going wrong and my children suffering because of my decision to have this. :(

My biggest fear is not being successful... Somedays I feel like I will be the ONE and ONLY person who fails miserably, and this is all psychological, I am aware of the fact that if you follow the reccomendations there really is no way you could fail.

Strangely enough (considering my biggest fear) my other fear is that I won't know how to live life as a normal size person... I have spent years assuming people were judging me and everything because of my weight...

Believe it or not I have had a really hard time accepting that I am successful with this! I see a councelor regularly and his theory about my fears is my being overweight has been one of the only consistant things in my life (i had a shitty childhood and shitty parents).

Biggest fear is that I will not lose the weight or be able to maintain it if I do.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
