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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
