Hi Jennifer!
Thanks for your post to my profile, thought I'd post to yours. Wishing you the best for your surgery and for a quick recovery!
As for your concerns about not waking up, I'm with you but the reality is, we won't know it! If that is the way I go, at least it will be while I was trying to make a difference in my life instead of because I didn't do everything I could have to lose the weight and be healthy. I pray that it won't happen to me, and I'm riding my exercise bike 4 X's a week for 1/2 hr to increase the oxygen levels in my blood. Anything I can do to help myself.
May you have a very happy and healthy New Year!
