Want to back out.

I've been posting here a lot lately. I leave on Wednesday to fly to Mexico for my sleeve. Every night I have regrets on even starting this process. My husband and sister are very supportive of me having this surgery. I was booked to have a lap band done yrs ago and backed out. For the last 5 yrs all my hubby has been hearing was I wish I wish I wish I had gone through with it. Now this time is here and I'm wanting someone to tell its ok to back out.

I'm so afraid. Of everything. I have two babies at home that I'm afraid I won't get back too. I know the chances are slim. But it still scary because they are what I live for. I'm afraid of life afterwards. Having your stomach cut off is a pretty dramatic thing to do too your body. I

Don't want to leave my family for 5 days to go to a different country to have this surgery.

I wish I knew if I was doing the right thing. I'm afraid if I don't go ill just disappoint everyone again.

Ps. My sister is coming with me.

There are risks with changing and risks with staying the same - we tend to consider the risks of change as more important.

My hubby said the same thing :).
