Waaa! Complcations are scary!

I just made the mistake of reading about some

complications before bed... now I'm at an all-time anxiety high... So worried about clots since my flights are 6 hours long on my way home from Mexico. I knew about complications, but reading the testimonials is scary!!! omg... praying so hard for complication free.....

      Deep breaths.... Yes there is a risk to having this surgery but when the obesity gets to the point of being deadly in itself.. they are risks worth taking.

      Danielle, I read some scary stuff as well.....I had some anxiety for about a week. I'm so much calmer because I know I'm doing the right thing & I need this! Remember WHY you're doing this su

      As professionals, the surgeons HAVE to tell you the risks - otherwise they aren't doing their job. You'd have most of these same risks if you needed surgery for anything - appendix rupture, gall stone

    After the surgery, sure to walk as soon and as often as possible. Wear loose clothing and invest in a good pair of surgical compression stockings. Book an isle seat on the plane and get up and walk down the isle and back several times during the flight.

    My best wishes for a successful surgery and safe trip!

    I was freaking out and having doubts I read that someone started to get seizures. I stopped reading so I wouldn't scare myself more lol. My surgery won't be into August. I'm just thinking positive now and keeping that excited feeling instead of that scary anxious nervous feelings I get when I read the complications.
