I'm SCARED!
Naomi, a certain amount of fear is healthy. This IS major surgery, and there ARE risks! But if you put it all in perspective, the risk factor for this surgery is MUCH, MUCH less than the risks you run if you don't take the weight off. You are doing this for the right reasons. Just put your trust in God and Dr. I, and you'll be shrinking before ya know it!!!
Hugs, prayers, and smiles headed your way

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
