Hi... I can't believe I'm on here.  I've thought about gastric bypass for 4yrs, this past two weeks, I made the decision to look into it. I scared... I'm hopeful...and more scared.... I guess I'm struggling with the fact that if I do this, it's permenant. There is no going back. What if I'm one of the ones who fail. I mean, it's still a diet! What makes this different than everything else I tried, lost weight and gained it all back. I've done it so many times... It seems like everyone I talk to who is loving the surgery is less that 5yrs out. What happens after you lose the weight and are still having to control your portions and worrying about your stomach stretching. I don't think I could handle failing at this. What if I'm not strong enough, patient enough..... I don't think I have an option, but I'm scared. I hate doctors, I've been to several nutrionist over the past 10 yrs, I think they are all full of crap. I don't do well in support group..... is there any hope?
