My weight loss seems very slow compared to most people, but even if it is slowing down I have lost 3 dress sizes in one month, and it would have taken me much much longer without the assistance of the sleeve, and I would have eventually gained it all back plus some, which I hope won't happen this time around.

I certainly have no regrets.

:rolleyes: NO REGRETS! NONE!!!!!! As said earlier, only that I couldn't have had it years ago!!!

NOT A ONE!!!!!!!!! I am only 2 weeks postop,but in those 2 weeks I am down 17 lbs. Who would regret that? Only regret that it took me so long to do it!

Like everyone else said, my only regret is not getting the sleeve earlier. I'm 3 months out lost almost 50 pounds and feel real good. A day before and a few days after my surgery I was thinking I should not be doing this, but that is normal. I'm so glad I had the surgery and I'm sure you will too. Good luck

Not a single regret! Second best decision I ever made. (#1 was to have kids.)

No regrets!! I love my sleeve. The only regret I have is getting the lapband. I wish I would have just had just gotten the sleeve in the first place.

No regrets about the sleeve. I was a revision from the lapband - which is kin to a medieval torture device - so THAT I regret! The sleeve is amazing and I promise you won't regret it if you have it done.

Not one regret and I was a self pay in US. Okay I had one fleeting episode in front of a HomeStyle Buffet (of all places) crying over not being able to gorge. Wish I had cried over a good steak joint rather than the senior specials. :) You too will soon be here saying "no regrets". No more hungries all the time, no more stuffing myself only to still be hungry, no more hatred cycles. I love my sleeve!

Not for one single minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't crying going into the OR, I was like "let's get this going, I've been waiting so long to finally have something to HELP me lose the weight and keep it off!"

I love my sleeve!

6 months out, 100 lbs gone forever, finally into onderland which I haven't seen in YEARS. Regrets? That I wasted so many years in an unhealthy body. But no looking back - this summer I am going on a river trip, then this fall to ride in a hot air balloon in Sodona, on to the Grand Canyon and then up to Colorado for a zip line adventure - couldn't have even dreamed of doing these things 6 months ago!

I am seriously considering the gastric sleeve procedure. Does anyone here regret having the surgery? Why? Thank you

Just in the beginning for the first 3 months I had buyers remorse really badly. . . but that was because they take your stomach away and overnight you are expected to completely change your lifestyle. . . how you eat, drink, exercise, etc. . . overnight. . .the re-learning phase is crazy as all get out, but now at 13 months out, I'm very glad I got it done. . . no regrets now at all. . .
