Friends,

This forum has helped me a lot. I am in psychological and psychiatric accompaniment.

After doing the surgery, I have reading about the many irreversible complications that can happen. I feel scared. Fear better and again I fall. Fear of having neuropathies, problems in vision, in the brain.

I am doing supplementation with Barefusion (100% RDA). My surgeon said he only recommends other vitamins if there are deficiencies. How is your vitamin supplementation scheme?

I still regret the surgery.

Medical historic: 9 months of surgery. Initial BMI 40.5. Current BMI 29.0. Six months after cirurgy cardiac ablation for arritmias. Two hospitalizations in an Intensive Care Unit.

thanks!

major complications are very rare - this is a very safe surgery. What complications are you having?

I dont have complications. I had a cardiac ablation and hospitalizations in posoperatory for cardiac rasons. I have stress post traumatic desorder since hospitalizations. So hard! I lost the confiance in the cirurgie. I fell fear and panic.

I know many many people who have had weight loss surgery and do not know one single person with neuropathy,vision problems or brain issues. What I do see,self included,are many many people leading healthy,happy active lives minus health problems they had when obese. Personally I am 61/2 years after surgery and minus the diabetes,high cholesterol,high triglycerides and high blood pressure I had before surgery. Often we see what we look for. Instead of focusing on rare problems look at before and after pictures and lives transformed and revitalized. Here's mine!

Sorry for your anxiety. My daughter uses an app called calm. It does cost an annual fee. It helps her calm down. Good luck.

I feel like if you are looking for complications, you will certainly find people who have had them, and get yourself worked up. But most of us are living full, active, happy lives.

The complications of remaining obese are far more common.

I believe the most common cause of neuropathy and vision problems is diabetes. This surgery helps to prevent or reverse diabetes So you probably reduced your risk of those complications.

I had diabetes before surgery and I was cured after the surgery. I had not thought of this point of view, thank you.
