Anyone else has this illogical fear that they’ll be the one this surgery doesn’t work for? It’s hard for me to picture a day when I’ll be full with little sips. All the reading, researching and success stories can’t keep me from feeling like what if. Anyone else felt this way?

Yay, I am so happy to hear this. Get your healthy back,on, girl. You've finally got this step done!?

Oh my maybe Ancestry. Com isn't the zHoly Trail everbody thought they once were. Although many yearn to know if their ethnicity was, if they have my DNA forever could it be used to exclude me from employment at a future date? Sounds pretty Brave New World to me, and I find that scary.

Grail. not Trail, they may rhyme but they are vastly different things.

SO MANY posts on this forum begin with, "Am I the only one who....?"

No matter how that question ends, it starts with the fallacy that we are alone in this world. You are NOT alone.

Did I have doubt about whether this surgery would work for me? Hell yes! I've never met a WLS patient who didn't have doubts at some point or another.

You're at the toughest, most fearful part of your journey. But here's the good news: Just ahead there's a fork in the road. You're going to have WLS & things are going to change for you. That's super exciting! And we'll be with you every step!

Good luck with your surgery. Stick around in the POST surgery forum & help others along their journey too!

You are not alone.

I am just the opposite, I weigh myself daily to keep on track. 1 year out, down 85.5 lbs. Goal was 120, I am down to 115lbs at 5'2". Couldn't be any happier [emoji4]

That’s awesome. You must’ve started at a lower weight? I’m 5’2 140.. goal is 120.. started at 250 / ten months ago. But I’m now on plateau .. needing to push harder to get down.

They also become the sole proprietor and possessor of the genetic material once transferred to them, no thanks...
