You overcome the fear by researching and trying to get all of your questions answered through your doctor (when possible). Complications do happen, but are rare. I chose to have a positive outlook and accept what was coming, because getting sleeved and losing the weight had a much lower risk of harming me than carrying the excess weight did. I'm now almost 7 weeks post-op, had a speedy textbook recovery, and am slowly, but surely, losing the weight!

Take a deep breath. For technical questions, ask your doctor.

I had lots of what ifs before I had surgery. I think many of us have been there. For me the pro out weighed the con.

Good luck!

Anxiety is normal. Remind yourself of why you need the surgery. I had looming health issues. After surgery, my health issues have been resolved and all of my medical test results are within the normal range. Focus on your reasons.

I am 7 months post op and have NEVER had that problem nor have I met anyone that has had that however everyone & and their progress & recovery is different! Stay positive and know you can do this!

Listen to the guidelines your surgeon gives you post op!

Good luck! :)
