Post-OP Walking
That’s awesome that you can walk that much. I have no energy at all.

OK guys maybe I’m just pessimistic (I stress maybe) but am I the only one who has found this surgery to be a complete B*TCH?!
I had terrible gas pain in my chest and shoulder area. That part I was prepared for. It was the immediate regret of doing it that I wasn’t expecting. I hate that I have done this to myself.

Pre-OP Diet Blues
It doesn’t get any easier after surgery. Still on a liquid diet for three weeks after. Please be prepared for the mental and emotional feelings that could come after surgery.

Please be prepared for the mental and emotion battle that could happen after surgery. Research and research more. Best of luck to you.

What surgery did you have?

REGRET
I am sorry you are going through this too. I am working hard with a therapist and going to a support group. I wished I would have done more research and tried harder on my own. Now, I don’t feel like this was for me and I have to wake up everyday feeling this way. (Well, when I actually sleep. I’m having a hard time sleeping) Praying for you.

Struggling with my decision
I had surgery on 6/26/19. I woke up and immediately regretted it and can’t move on from it.

Struggling with my decision
I did not have any prior concerns going into the surgery. Maybe that’s why I’m so frustrated with the way I feel?! I had BMI of 41 exercising regularly not drinking sodas or alcohol. Now, I feel like I should have tried harder to lose it with out this surgery.

Struggling with my decision
I am not dealing well with this choice I have made. I regret having this surgery and I can not move past it. I wished I would have done more in depth research and spoke with a better therapist before hand. I wished I would have tried harder on my diet. So many more “I wishes” that I can’t get over.

how often did you feel buyers remorse having the surgery
I didn’t have much pain. But emotionally and mentally I am in horrific agony. I regret this decision so much. Prayer for you to feel better soon!

how often did you feel buyers remorse having the surgery
I too was self pay. Using money from refinancing our home. I thought I did enough research that I knew what I was doing but I was wrong! Regret is a tough pill to swallow.

REGRET
Thank you. Honestly, I was over all healthy to begin with besides having a BMI of 41. I exercised regularly. I did have high bp. I’m so vain. I wanted this to be thin. Plus, I used money from refinancing our home to pay for the surgery. So many times over I have wished my husband wasn’t on board and would have told me no. I knew the diet diet would be difficult but it is way more challenging than I thought. i am glad you are doing better.

Bariatric surgery was a big mistake
I had the sleeve on 6/26/19. This day one week ago I still could have backed out up until 3pm! But, I didn’t and now I am living with such horrible regret,shame hate for myself for doing this. Why didn’t I have these doubts before, why didn’t I research more?? I feel the same as you.
