Patricia, I am pre op for RNY(10/18/4). I also have the same fears you have, but have spoken to so many happy WLS people that I am willing to live with anything I am afraid of. I will be having my surgery at Delray Medical Center. feel free to e-mail me ask me anything, or come visit me and see what its like when I have mine. There is also a support group at Delray Medical Center that I found very helpfull. Good Luck getting approved. I was approved after my first letter, I started crying when I got the call telling me. Its great knowing I begin my journey soon.

Hi Patricia, Good luck and best wishes on your weight loss journey. I can't give you much insight on the pain from the surgery because I haven't had mine yet either. I did have a total hysterectomy a few years ago. I can't imagine the pain being worse than that. The first few days were the worst and I remember thinking, "What did I let them do to me." After that it was mostly soreness. But it was worth it. So, I'm sure this will be worth it also. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Patricia, Just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers as you prepare for WLS. I was always fat even as a child and had never had major surgery before, but this gave my life and control of it back to me. God bless you. Please feel free to contact me if you want.

I Said a Prayer For You Today! I said a prayer for you today, and know God must have heard, I felt the answer in my heart, although He spoke no word, I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures of, a more loving lasting kind, I asked Him to send you blessings at the start of your new day, To grant you love and health, and to guide the surgeon's way, I asked for you to recover fast, and to become thin and small, But it was for His loving care, I prayed for most of all!
