I'm scheduled for surgery June 4th. I honestly thought this day would never come. After 4 years, I have a surgery date. One of my biggest fears is feeling sick after surgery (after healing). Many times people feel bad or a just stay sick. My other fear is..will I regret this? Any tips or past experience would be very helpful.

We had a plastic surgeon give a talk in my support group today. Excess skin is common for everyone and rarely covered by insurance so also an issue most of us will live with. I am ok with that, as long as my "insides" remain healthy and functioning normal. :-). I want to come out of this healthier then I am now. That is my goal and I pray every day that this is the right decision for me. I can stress about it, go sleepless at night, etc etc.... But in the end I just have to make the decision to do this surgery and go forward with good thoughts. There are so many success stories out there, and soon I am going to be one those success stories to!
