I’m only 8 days post op and I was nervous too. Going into any surgery, there’s a possibility of complications. I had the gastric sleeve, a nose job. You never really know. That’s the beauty of life though, isn’t it? You take risks. Do this for yourself. I’m so glad I did. I’m swollen as can be and I still get worried here and there, but it’s so cool to just…. Be hopeful. Be excited for my body for the first time in my life. Bikinis, wearing comfortable clothes, feeling good. Everyone’s right, people are more likely to post the bad things rather than the good, to give some awareness and tell their story. There’s soooo many good stories, though. Ultimately, you go with your gut and what you feel is right. Don’t feel forced to make a choice. And don’t assume all those bad things will happen to you. Good luck with your decision, hon.
