Whew. Just finished reading an 11-page forum thread titled "Would You Have WLS Again"? It's definitely a hot topic, with people passionately defending both the "FUCK yeah" and "hell NO" sides of the issue.
After reading some of the concerns from the "no way" camp, I've succeeded in freaking myself out a good bit. I really hope I don't end up with deep, lasting regrets. I'm funny that way; sometimes I bounce back after a disappointment, other times I fall into a huge slump over things that go poorly.
I need to do my best to make sure I'm going into this procedure with both eyes wide open. I could end up with complications. I could be staying longer in the hospital than I expected. I could have any number of long-term issues, not least of which is death. (It doesn't get much more long-term than that, does it?)
Well, as someone far wiser than myself once noted, "the wee hours of the morning are no time to make life-changing decisions." So I'll go tuck myself in to bed and percolate on all this for now. Good night--erm, good morning, technically.
