Does anyone regret the decision to have VSG?

No way, :tongue_smilie: I thought a few times during the first two months about the fact that I cannot go and eat everything on the buffet, but that is what got me to 363 pounds in the first place. I learned the proper way to eat and too enjoy the taste of the food instead of the stuffing of it.

Love the sleeve and love watching the weight go away.

Good luck on your journey.

I don't regret my decision at all. I have my down days where eating as much as other people sounds tempting. But for the most part I love my new self more and more everyday.

None!!! Not one!!

Nope! Understand that the food restrictions you have in the begining are just temporary and that you will get to "try" everything again someday.

I don't regret it at all. I like being able to climb stairs, fit in desks, get on the floor to play with my granddaughter, and all the stuff that comes with the weight loss. I haven't regretted it for one minute.

No regrets at all, it isn't always easy but it for sure is worth it!

I have not regretted it for 1 second. It is the best thing I ever did for myself!!!

I've seen people post that even when they had complications early out, they still didn't regret it. I had no complications, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

No I am really happy now, I have my life back. I would do it again in the same situation. Still not completely used to being normal though!

Not a one! Well, other than I wish I'd done this five years ago, so that I could have enjoyed my 20s as a thinner person!

I was lucky and had very little pain or discomfort post op, I've not had issues eating or getting liquids in or anything like that. I will say that no matter how complicated things got - even if, heaven forbid, I had a leak - I'd still be thrilled in the end. I'm already off my diabetes meds, and I'm not even a month out yet.

I have never, NOT EVER lost this much weight in such a short time before.

There's absolutely nothing to regret.

I'm glad that so many folks here are positive upbeat cheerleaders and I hope to very soon be one of them! Right now though I am a month out and haven't really lost any weight and am facing fears of "what have I done to myself, is this really going to work?" I know at a logical level that it will and that I need to practice patience and use this time to listen to my body but I also want to be truthful and it is not so much that I regret my decision, I am just in a place right now where I wonder if I will end up regretting it.

Are you having a stall already?

I think a stall implies that you have lost weight and have stopped losing weight for awhile. I haven't lost any weight yet. It is my opinion that the 20 pounds my doctor's scale claimed I had lost at my 2 week check up was really just fluids etc from the surgery itself.

Have you measured to see if you have lost inches? I really hope things get better for you. Don't give up yet.

No regrets, but I wish I had prepared myself better beforehand. I had hoped to keep my band, but opted for VSG if that wasn't possible. I had the mindset that the band was staying and going to work properly again. I really didn't mentally prepare myself for this surgery and all that goes along with it. It's been very different for me than post banding was. I'm glad it was all done in one surgery and I'm sure my head is going to catch up. But right now I'm just not quite there yet.
