I'm scared. My starting weight was 310 im having surgery on the 12th. I'm mostly scared about the loose skin

i am terrified of complications or death

Muppie, get your fears worked out before you have surgery. Take your time with this decision and that will lessen the panic. Educate yourself and refuse to be led by your fear. Read testimonials on here good and bad. Pray about it and have faith in your decision one way or the other.

The mortality rate for gastric sleeve surgery is lower than that of knee replacement. Hopefully that puts your mind at ease a little. That's not to say the risks shouldn't be taken seriously, but thousand of people have ore dangerous surgeries every day.

I was over that and my surgery was a breeze. In fact from reading the forums my surgery was easier than some who were half my weight. I didn't have one single complication, no pain, no gas, didn't need pain meds, walked in recovery, you name it. I've been losing steadily.

Work out, moisturize and wear compression pants and tops whenever possible. There are no guarantees but that the best you can do. Trust me, a little loose skin is far better than pounds of extra weight.
