Thank you to shellb as well ! We who are considering WLS want to hear the bad as well as the good. I was originally considering the sleeve but due to reflux issues my surgeon recommended bypass surgery. I don't know why but I found this to be a scarier option. So I will continue investigating. I'm going to a support meeting the 13 th I'm hoping I will find some answers there as well. Thanks to all here for sharing their experiences good and bad.

Thank you Mbrock ! I have been going through the steps to have the bypass surgery and everywhere I go everyone is so happy with no regrets. I'm glad to know there is at least one person that regrets it. I just want to be sure to make a well informed decision and it's difficult if you only hear good things. It actually kind of scared me a little because I was sure someone out there must regret it. I'm very worried I might be one of those people so I'm thinking very long and hard about it. Thanks again for your honesty, it is very much h appreciated.

Can u ever eat popcorn? Can you drink soda? How about those two together? I'm a movie addict, will I have to give up my popcorn and soda? I'm also fond of margaritas , is that a no? I'm just so nervous I won't be able to do this. Are there absolute no's on certain things? Thanks !

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and thoughts. Every little bit helps.

Hi i'm worried i'll regret my decision to have bypass surgery. Does anyone here regret that they did it, and if so why?

Hi. Im new here. I was at my dr today and due to me significant reflux he recommended bypass surgery. I had initially decided on the sleeve and focused all my research there. So i am here to learn about the ups and downs and ins and outs of bypass surgery from those who know best. You !
