This is my second time around at the process of GPS. The first time I chickened out and decided to take a dif route with SRS Medically Supervised Weight Management program because of the simple fact that my daughter raised a major concern for me should I not make it thru the surgery. I think it's a very common fear for everyone. This IS major surgery and we have to wt all the facts and do our homework to feel we are making the right decision. I agree with the other comments - keep asking questions and find out all you can about GBS/selecting a surgeon. I wish I had gone thru with it the first time around and at this point I feel very confident that going thru with this is the very best choice for me AND my family. I feel this is not only taking the wt off but also it's making me a better person health wise (heart, joints, pain and energy) and improving my self esteem in the process. Carrying this wt around is starting to take it's toll on me and the fear of not being here for them increases daily so I feel this is a prayer answered to be able to have this surgery. The best of luck to you ... I will keep you in my prayers.
