How do you avoid all the scary stuff on the Internet ? I am trying to get myself I formed but NOT trying to scare myself. I never expected many worries an emotions.

Most of the medical information you find online is more hype than anything.

You might find the following to be a good place to start:

• http://www.hsph.harv...vention-source/ (Harvard School of Public Health)
  
• http://www.webmd.com/
  
• http://asmbs.org/ (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery)
  
• http://iom.edu/Repor...Prevention.aspx (Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science)
  
• http://www.wlslifestyles.com/ (This is a digital magazine with an ENORMOUS amount of information on weight loss surgery. Cost is $19.95 for a one year subscription and imho that's a real bargain.)
  
• http://www.mayoclinic.com/
  

The scary stuff is part of being informed about what you are about to do. The truth is, sometimes things can go wrong with the surgery, and It's good to know both the pros and cons of this procedure.
