Gene, Many warm thoughts, best wishes, and prayers are headed your way for an uneventful surgery, a quick, pain-free, recovery, and many months of weight loss followed by good health.

Gene, There is nothing wrong about being informed about what could be a surgical complication but don't obsess about the "what if's". Let me tell you a better horror story to think of. Existing the way that you are with the current health issues and it only continuing to get worse if you do not get your surgery. HUMM..a different slant but that was all that it took for me. Thinking of being in my old body for another year was so horrible that nothing else compared. Keep those nerves in check, make some goals for yourself. Think of how much better you will feel as the weight drops. Come on line for some postive support. God bless and keep on moving towards living instead of dying from obesity. KimmieTN@goal
