Surgical Consent

I am filling out the surgical consent form and as am reading it mayor doubts and worries arise. I do not have high blood pressure nor any medical conditions. I ask myself if I really tried hard enough? What if I get complications? What if I don't loose the weight? what if?...what if? WHAT IF? I am super scared and in need of prayers. I count with all of your support! Thank you for your time.

I went through those emotions myself up until the day of surgery. It is normal to be nervous and have doubts. What helped me is I work with others who had it done a year ago and people I have met and everyone gave me the pros and cons but All shared no regrets. Does that help?

I was in the same place as you with no co-morbidities. This is a really serious decision and it is not for everyone. If you are having so much uncertainty you should take a few days to really think this through and not rush your decision. When the time comes, you will know in your heart what the right choice for you is.
