Finished surgery overview class Saturday. I was probably the youngest and largest female in there...felt very stupid because I kept thinking this was an option but from the looks of it I need this more than anyone in there- i need this to work!!!!! Scared, I am the only one who works in my family and I can't have a bad outcome.... But I also feel like I'm at risk for other issues.... I can't have a heart attack either.... I'm so scared... Bariatric team called today and I have orientation Sunday...

Take a breath, smile and hold your head up. You have started on a path of renewed health and taking care of yourself. I, too, was so nervous but in the end everything turned out well. Keep your eyes on the result you will receive... a new you, healthy, vibrant and feeling so much better.

First mistake was that you looked around at the others who were there with you and judged yourself the worst one there....this will be an issue you will have to look at later on after your done the surgery and working on your head issues...

All the fears you have are legitimate, and warranted, but the big picture is you and what is best for you personally...

There is a small percentage of people who have trouble after surgery...Majority don't....You have to do what is best for you not those other people in the room...

Head up, strong and forward to a new and healthier you.....Stop being so hard on yourself....Please learn to love yourself...k
