Hi Bear - welcome to Thinner Times.
My "what if's" were "what if I continued my life the way it is" rather than "what if something happens during surgery". So that's how I rationalized my choice.
My anxiousness was that something might happen that would cancel surgery - I wanted it soooo bad. Everything went smooth and like clockwork.
Keep focused on what it is you want this surgery to do for you. To take pain away; to rejoin life and living; to play with my kid; to walk without needing oxygen; etc., and be at peace on the day of. The best is yet to be... I'm a great example of my life getting supremely better.
