Fear of RNY not working
Really, just take a look at all the success in this forum, do you really, really believe that you will be the ONLY one it doesn't work for? Come-on, as long as you follow your center's protocal and guidelines following a successful surgery, you'll do fine (and you won't be crazy).

There is no guarantee in anything.
The real issue may start 1-2-3 years post op. That where you can really benefit from changing the way you eat.
Good luck.

This is the beginning of a long journey that you have control of. You can take this journey by the reins and work it to help you. Or you can sit back and expect it to work for you. It's going to take work on your part. So if your not ready for it, all I can say is good luck to ya. It is a big step, and a life changing process.
Just follow the plan and you'll be fine. Good luck, see ya on the losers side!

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Exactly 1 week post op now... I'm down to 314. Yeah, that's 15 pounds in a week. It's pretty crazy!
Was the surgery everything I thought it'd be? No, it's really odd. I thought I'd have massive restriction and wouldn't be hungry, etc. Nothing has really changed, except the total amount of stuff I can intake. I still drool all over myself when my wife makes bacon and eggs for the family in the morning... knowing full well I can't have any, but in return, I get to enjoy a homemade protein ice cream sundae :)
