The thing that scared me most about gastric bypass surgery was I had never had any type of surgery. Surgery in general scared me, but at the same time this wasn't repairing a broken bone. This was hard-core surgery, this was life-threatening. You read everything in the newspapers that tend to focus on the negative aspects of the surgery. I had to live with that. It took me quite some time to make this decision. But, yes, I was very scared up until the moment I went under.
