So…..I’m having second thoughts. I’m turning to this group to give me some guidance. Up until today I’ve been excited for my surgery that’s supposed to happen on the 18th of this month. I just woke up this morning asking myself “what am I doing”…..I don’t know if it’s nerves or what but now I’m thinking about not going through with it.
I’m not scared of the actual surgery. I’ve had plenty in my life already with various surgeries so It’s not that…..I think I’m more worried about having to take vitamins for the rest of my life….and not just some vitamins but A LOT of vitamins….at different times…you can’t take this with that….you have to wait before taking this one…ect. ect.
I’m ok with the cost….that’s not really the issue…..I’m worried about not being able to figure out my labs afterwards (my levels plummeting)..... I know how to read the reports and I’ve always been my own health advocate….I actually have a doctor that is awesome to work with and understands the various WLS….I’m just feeling overwhelmed with the vitamin regimen….Is there anyone out there that wishes they didn’t go through with this?
