I said to myself after the surgery... what have I done... after day 3... I had a big burp... the shoulder pain was gone and I've never looked back. No regrets at all.

Banded July 6 06
Wt. Loss: 156 lbs

A few times I wondered; my incision got infected & the meds have kept me nausea. I think it passes with everyone. My friend had Gastic Bypass in 2011& she was regretful at first but lost 150 lbs.

I didn't ever have that feeling , I just looked at everything as a temporary stage and when it was the right time I would move on to the next stage. ( but I have heard its not uncommon to feel you made a big mistake, a "what have I done ?" feeling ) I took everything on a day to day basis, followed my Drs rules 95% of the time , read everything I could, followed this forum and listed to my body. 18 months later I still think it was the best decision I could of made. I literally got my life back !!! Good luck to you, you can do this !!!

Trust Me When I Tell You, There is A Big Difference In Well Doing and Doing Well!!
You Can Be Doing Good and Not Be Doing Well, But The Lord Said Don't Get Weary In Doing Good For The Harvest You Sow You Will Reap!! Never Give Up!!! No Matter What!! And Try To Find Haters In The Process Because They Are Your Motivators!!
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Congrats on the self esteem boost!! I'm still working on mine some. I'm gaining more and more confidence, but it's still a struggle in a sense. I was banded 3.27.13 and I've lost 40lbs so far. The smaller I get, the sexier I feel about myself but I've yet to step out onto the dating scene. It has been about a year and a half since my last date. We shall see what the future holds though
