Did your mind start telling you to NOT DO IT???
I went into my preop physical with the surgeon absolutely sure I was going to cancel. I really had to logically sit down and weigh the pros and cons and I came up with this: the surgery is a risk, but there's no safety in staying fat. I tried it on my own for years and years and had nothing but failure.
I went through with it and haven't regretted it for a single second.

I was a nervous wreck. My surgeon didn't think I would go through with it. I did and it is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for my health. I have had zero complications or ill effects. I am 3 months out today and it has been short of miraculous. Don't hesitate. Just surrender to the Gods of the VSG and your surgeon. Have faith and positive thoughts.
