VSG2RNY2021

Yes...my regret tho is not following through and getting comfortable. Had my VSG in July 2016, lost 80 lbs that first year then started eating and pushing the limits. Hence I gained back 50 of the 80 lost. I just had revision from VSG to RNY last week and I was told I wouldn't lose much that don't expect the same results with revision. Im not screwing up this third and final chance. I will be the exception and lose the 50+ I gained back.

Does anyone here regret having had gastric bypass surgery?
** nope. Not for a minute. I'd do it every year if I had to. Best decision I've ever made!!
I keep hearing about the downsides: adhesions, forever being careful of what to eat, dumping, stricture, malabsorption, etc.
** first, the downside of remaining obese - high risk of diabetes, heart issues, early death.
As far as gastric bypass downsides that you mentioned:
Adhesions - very rare
Forever being careful of what to eat: you'd have to do this if you lost weight the old-fashioned way, too, if you wanted to maintain your loss.
Dumping: 30% of us dump. I never have -- and I know lots of others who never have, either. If you turn out to be a dumper, it's controlled by avoiding or limiting sugar (or fats - some people dump on fats). These are things we should be doing anyway.
Stricture: happens to 5% of us. Minor issue and very easy fix.
Malabsorption: 1) calorie malabsorption is what gives us a leg up on weight loss. It lasts a year or two. 2) nutrient malabsorption - rare as long as you keep on top of your vitamins
I think a lot of us once had the same concerns. I did too - which is why it took me ten years to take the plunge. And now my only regret is that I waited so long to do it.
If you don't feel you're mentally ready for it, then maybe now isn't the time to do it. It takes some serious dedication and I think you really have to be in the right mindset to be successful. But seriously, it really is the best decision I've ever made. Should have done it years ago.
