I'm scared they'll make my entire bottom or left/right side. Whatever. I overthink and worry about the rarest complications that can happen. All I can think of is my first surgery. I had the gastric sleeve. I stayed in the icu room the entire stay because they gave me too much meds during surgery. And I can't eat more than 5oz at a time now. Most people stop losing weight at 6 months. I'm on 4 years and counting and doctors still can't figure out why I can't retain or gain on top of that. I reached my lowest of 113lbs.
What's so wrong about just wanting to take meds instead of having needles in your back or a "small incision". That's what they told me before my gastric sleeve. Now I have 5 scars on my stomach.
There's so many reasons why it's the last thing I want to do. :/
