NONE!!! I just wish I hadn't wasted my time getting the band and had the sleeve instead. The sleeve has been one of the best decisions of my life!

Regret 1: I didn't do it sooner, just like everyone else. I suffered alot when I was fat and I just keep thinking about how futile all of that suffering was. Feeling bad about myself, hating myself if I ate something "bad", feeling like an idiot because I would try and just couldn't lose the weight, feeling ilke I had no will power at all....but then I had my surgery and when my hunger went my will power came. I literally feel very little hunger and when I do it's not like it used to be (like my stomach telling me to eat an elephant, gurgle gurgle). I look at myself in the mirror now and feel happy so when I make choices about what i'm going to eat I say to myself "now do you really want that?" Not to say that I don't cheat now and then and eat what I have a taste for, I do which is the beauty of the sleeve, I just eat a whole hell of alot less of it than what I had in the past. I can eat just about anything and never feel like I'm on a diet....

Regret that I didn't do this in my early 20s or hell even my teens.

      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!!
