  1. I hope so too
  2. That’s awesome that you can walk that much. I have no energy at all.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Please be prepared for the mental and emotion battle that could happen after surgery. Research and research more. Best of luck to you.
  6. I am still in shock I had this major surgery! Why didn’t I realize what major surgery it was before?!?? I am working hard on moving forward. Trying to get protein in becoming a real struggle.
  7. What surgery did you have?
  8. 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.
  9. Thank you. I am trying hard to work through the regret.
  10. I truly hope so. I have wanted weight loss surgery for as long as I can remember. This has taken me by such shock that I feel this way.
  11. I am trying so hard to get past thirds negative feelings.
  12. Yes, I am a week out. I am going next week to speak with a therapist and going to support group.
  13. I had surgery on 6/26/19. I woke up and immediately regretted it and can’t move on from it.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Thanks. I am hoping soon this will go away.
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. I hope so. Waiting for that day
  21. I wished I would have been prepared to be mentally wrecked. I wasn’t. thanks I’ll give it a try
  22. I’m sorry this happened to you. Prayers for your continued healing.
  23. Yes, started anti depressants and started working with a therapist
  24. 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.
