Never even occurred to me, but I've had several surgeries before. Getting hit by a car is more likely.

It's a very common fear. You completely give up control. But, yes, there are other things that can happen to all of us as we go about our lives "in control". The control we have is to take all the steps we need to make this a success: preop testing, being honest with our selves and our providers, following the food plans, taking our supplements...

(Tormorrow is my surgery and today I am struggling with the stupid controlling fantasy that everything in my house needs to be perfect before I leave!)

Just want to chine in. I'm about 2.5 years out and 19 months at goal. I was scared too. When I woke up, I told the nurse, "it was successful, I'm still here!" It makes sense to be afraid, there are risks. But those have to be weighed against the risks if you don't get surgery. For me, not getting the surgery was riskier to my health. In the weeks before surgery, whenever it felt worried, I did things to help prepare for surgery and recovery like pre-paying bills, cleaning house, moving things so I didn't have to bend over to reach them, washing some smaller clothes I had saved, and stocking up on household staples like TP, laundry soap, etc. I also recorded movies and got books to read while recovering.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
