Today I have been thinking about a lot of things…First one was if I should go to a Bariatric Support Group this morning, but then I thought I might not fit in since I have complications and some people just don’t want to hear that…I’m like the plague sometimes, they look like I’m the only one who would have these types of issues…What did you do wrong and why are you here again…Granted my last one I attended didn’t work out so hot for me as you can tell…That I believe was almost 4 yrs ago…My how time flies, if that support group even knew that back then I was almost normal and now not so much, I can hear the gasp in the air…LOL…
Now my second thought of the day was if I wanted to go through my tummy tuck or not…Granted, that might sound weird since a lot of people would jump at the chance if they could…But I think my biggest fear is that I will wake up from the procedure due to me having sugar issues that likes to eat the anesthetic…Who knows that might not happen, but it’s such a great fear of mine that I don’t know what to do about it…I did make another appointment to see the Doctor and of course he is going to say there is nothing to worry about but to me it is…What do some of you think I should do??? Please if I’m being neurotic please let me know, I can handle the truth…
And now back to my kitty scratching me to death…LOL…
I think u should go back to the meetings. U never know, u may have some issues that someone else has..or in the future some of the people may have complications also, and maybe they will need someone to speak with. Im sure not all of them are having a perfect time after their WLS’s. And you are not the odd man out for telling your story. If you were to come into my meeting, I would welcome you with open arms and would love to hear your story. Im sure they would also.
Id give it try 
Cant hurt!
Maybe I should go next month to see what it’s all about…I guess I’m judging them before I even go in…So I’m not giving them a fair chance either…That is my fault and I take the blame for it…
Thank you for saying that, it would be a pleasure being in your WLS group…But I am in a way on Twitter…

I personally don’t “need” a tummy tuck but kinda want one. You are normal to be worried about waking up due to your sugar issues but honestly I doubt that would happen. A respectable surgeon would have an anesthesiologist in the room the whole time monitoring your vitals and they’d be able to tell if you were coming to and would give you more drugs to keep you under ( I checked into that before my surgeries b/c I was worried too). So I say go for it! I’d have to pay cash since I don’t have skin folds but would love one. My tummy is ick with all the scars and stretched skin and such.
As far as the support group, I say give them a try. People need to hear the truth and that means good and ugly. If they aren’t there to support everyone, even those with negative things to say, then perhaps they should rethink what a “support” group means. Best of luck dear.
One of our support meetings (also in Indiana) was about complications and it was the best meeting we had. Some were freaked out, but I thought it gave me a heads up on what to look for and what to NOT ignore! I’d love to have a tummy tuck, but it isn’t insured. I had twins 33 years ago, big whopper twins and have had an unsightly stomach ever since and now the weightloss has made it worse. I just do not know if I am up for the pain or another big recovery. It is from you and meltingmama that I even learn about complications. So I thank you.
Thank you so much for replying…I’m glad we could both help you out and what to look for and not…But please never hesitate on asking me questions…I’m very truthful…It’s a pleasure to meet you…
Thank you,
