NOT ONE REGRET!! I'm 4 weeks out and since I started my two week pre surgery diet I'm down 40 pounds. I'm starting to get a LOT of compliments and I'm still fat but it sure makes me FEEL GOOD!!!! LOL

BEFORE surgery you feel like you are on an EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER!! It is WORTH IT!!! I WAS SO EXCITED to have this surgery ....I needed the TOOL to help me lose, to get health!!!

When I got back to my room after surgery the FIRST thing I asked my Mom and Husband was...."DO I LOOK THINNER YET?" My Mom said OH SHE IS JUST FINE!!! LOL

GOOD LUCK and one day you will be writing NO REGRETS TOO!!!!

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

I too have made the decision. I am not going to look back. The date of my surgery is March 15. I am excited and at peace with this decision.

The odds were against me without having surgery. Now, I still have to do the work but I stacked the odds in my favor. Now, it's not a matter of will I lose all the weight and keep it off.... it's just a matter of when. :)

About 3 month out now and no regrets so far. The only thing I might regret is not being able to treat my body right from the start, if I had stuck to a sensible diet 20 years ago and managed to find the joy in exercise back then I wouldn't have have had to have the surgery. After 20 years of yo-yo dieting and feeling miserable about myself I realised I needed a psysical tool to help me keep the weight off, hence the sleeve!

Anyone needs to find his/her own decision about having surgery, it's not one to take easy. Once it's taken it is for life. For me it feels like the start of a great life ahead!

Best wishes and good luck in making your decision.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
