I guess my biggest fear is I won't feel better about myself. I also worry about not losing weight and still not being able to do the things that I really want to do.

Also hair loss and extra skin. But it seems like those are fairly common concerns and that makes me feel a little better about it.

I'm worried about becoming dehydrated/sick/malnourished from lack of water/food/vitamins etc. Most of all I worry about losing too much weight along with a lot of hair. I am stocking up on vitamins and protein powder mix packs and also Biotin chewable. But I can't let any of thses fears stop me from doing what's good for my health.

I'm worried about being too ridiculously sexy when I get to goal weight lol jk. I'm afraid of getting the sleeve and gaining all the weight back. Or not losing very much weight at all

These are my same fears too. I've lost and regained triple digits before. I can't regain this again!

I find out my surgery date on October 1.

So it looks like either end of October or first week or so of November.

1. I'm scared of dying from leaks that no one catches until too late and I'm already septic.

2. Of stroking out/ blood clots during surgery or in recovery.

3. Me not losing that 125lbs that I need to lose.

4. Sagging and excessive skin. I'm so afraid that when I lose my weight that all I'm gonna look like is a granny.

5. That for some reason my husband loses his job aka insurance before they can submit it.

6. My insurance denying me

7. My copay being more than 3,000$ because I can't afford it.

8. I have lupus and take NSAIDs so worry about that.

Only thing that makes me some what ok is that my mom has been a med asst since 1971 and she will be with me at my house while I recover. So she'll know what to look out for in case of leaks and septicemia. And yea like the rest of you, my anxiety is pretty high.
