Yvette, Look at all the positive and sucessful testomonies that you have read and keep a positive attitude. I also live in Atlanta. I used Dr. Daly at Northside. From this site it looks like Dr. Waits has a wonderful reputation. I'm confident you are in good hands. Everyone has the death fear. I can tell you my fear of continued weight gain and letting life continue to pass me by scared me MORE. I walked into the hospital day of surgery with my husband relaxed and ready to get the show on the road. I am so happy now and enjoy my life in a way I haven't been able to in years. I am no longer hiding my fat ass and avoiding social activities due to embarrassement or not having anything to wear because I'm fat. Keep on this site for support. It will calm your nerves. Best wishes on your upcoming life change!

Don't worry about a thing sweetie. I had the same doubts, second thoughts you have. It's natural to worry. But the benefits far exceed the risks. From what my doctor told me, most of the casulties from the surgery are older people over 50, with a BMI greater than 60. I am 9 days post-op and am doing great. I have even lost 15 lbs. already! You're just having last minute jitters....I went through the same thing about 5 days before my surgery. Just take a deep breath, and keep reminding yourself of all the good things that will come out of this surgery & you will do just fine. Hang in there!! I will keep you in my prayers!

Hello Yvette, I am 4 weeks post-op, and I am doing great. I started my journey in june, and was scared. I had a choice, die within 2 years from obesity related complications... i am only 27. or have the surgery, I chose the surgery. I want to live and raise my kids, and have a life. to me, thats our choice. I never read the memorial page, why scare myself? I knew the risks, but I also knew what would happen to me if I didn't have the surgery. TO me, that is what you have to consider, what quality of life will you have without the operation? is the risk worth it? for me it was, i can't answer that ? for you. But in a little under 4 weeks i am down 50lbs. I feel great, have energy, and I am doing things I haven't been able to do for years. NO diet, drug, etc, could do that for me, this surgery was the only way left for me. I wish you luck in your journey, if ya have any questions just send me an email. [email protected] darla k.
