You can see it floating around, and it may just be stress of the season, influx of new accounts or the contagion that fear breeds. Negativity. Everyone seems constantly afraid of something and it becomes attached to surgery/weightloss because that's what this forums is for. General fear of failure, anticipation of regain, denial of insurance, surgeon error, marital status, auxiliary medical issues, etc... Did anyone really believe this was a great pathdecision, choice, etc from the start and is still standing by it? Can we share some (realistic) positivity for people who need to know it's totally worth it?
