Default And yet another newbie...

Hi. I'm new too. My pulmonary specialist recommended GBP surgery to me a couple of months ago and I'm scared as hell about it. Went to Dr. Callery's intro session earlier this week; afterwards I vowed to lose the #$(&@#$ weight some OTHER way...

Well, at the age of 57 and with a long string of failed diets behind me, my doctor pointed out today that GBP is THE way to stop failing. And if I'm scared by the surgery I might consider being scared of NOT having it (impending heart/asthma/joint/stroke/diabetes/whatever problems...)

Anybody else out there feeling ambivalent about the prospect of having their inner organs re-arranged?
