At 188 KG at 40 I would say you don't have that long to live if you don't do something. Sorry to be dramatic. Why don't you have a heat and general health check first and see what your body is doing as you are now. Thats going to give you a good indication if you are about to see a lot of problems coming or already have damage due to obesity. That might help you decide.
You will do fine, there is some slight discomfort afterwards which the pain meds will resolve. The surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Im 50 yrs old and I felt sluggish and tired when I had the excess weight. Now I feel as energetic and vibrant as I did in my 20s. The surgey will make you a healthier person so you will be able to spend more time with your 3 kids enjoying more physical activities. I am 3.5 months out of surgery and still have another 45lbs to go but its the best decision I have ever made. Good luck
