Did anyone else have this crazy worry??

I know it's totally irrational, but I am convinced that I will be the first person in history to have this surgery and not lose weight.  I know it's crazy, but I can't help it!!

Yes, a lot of us have been there. It's probably because we've failed at every other "diet" we've tried that we don't believe we can ever succeed. But just follow your surgeon's rules and you'll be fine. I feel like my whole metabolism has been reset and while I still have to deal with the head issues, I'm so much more in control. you can and will do this!

oh you will lose weight, you wait and see your old stomach will be gone and you won't be able to get much into this pouch and if you try to eat too much you will be sick. i wasn't sure either before i had my surgery if you could fail at losing a pound but my other dr said  you will definitely lose weight and now i know why lol. my appetite has gone from big  to pretty much nil mind you i 'm still healing it may change over the next year.

Yes, I had the same thoughts. What if it doesn't work for me?! I also worried that the doctor didn't really do the surgery. That she just made the incisions, but nothing was actually done inside. Irrational, I know, but for some reason those were the thoughts crossing my mind. Its just unbelievable to think it will actually wor****il it does!

I'm sure you are very special and unique... but I doubt you are that special and unique!  Surgery will work for you just like it works for everyone else.

 I have to laugh. That's exactly what I believe deep down.
These @#$&*%* stalls don't help. 
If my weird body decides not to lose any more weight, I guess I'll stay fat and just try to get healthier, stronger, and more fit.

I know how you feel.  I am worried about the same thing and then some.  LOL  I am stressing out over stalling since everything I have read says you start to slow on the weight loss around 18 months.  I have sooo much weight to lose and I am so afraid that I won't lose enough weight.  Like you, I know it sounds irrational but you just can't help but to have those thoughts sometimes.  But best of luck to you :)
