If you had the choice to make the decision to have the sleeve surgery again...would you still do it?

I've been very blessed so far, so it is easy to say yes, but when I read about all the complications some have had, my heart goes to them and it makes me question if this surgery is really the answer....

Then I remember what my life used to be.... I was not living, I was dying. I would spend all day in bed, depressed, with a lot of back pain, and very ashamed of all my issues. I had isolated myself from family and friends. My life was a sad mess. So many times I felt this world was too much for me to handle... I did seek therapy, but nothing much changed... So when I see how bad my quality of life was, I rethink and I am almost sure I made the right choice.

I completely agree...I was able to go back to work a week post op and my heart really does ache and go out to those who have had problems. I can only pray that they go away for them and dont happen to the rest of us! I am only 20 and knew my life would be short if I didnt make changes. Thank you for commenting, It really does help and mean a lot!

Ummmm...let me think....ahhhh yeah. Without a doubt. It's hard, it's crazy and often sucks but I know this "discomfort" I am experiencing will be well worth it.

Yes I would!!! I do get frustrated when having problems figuring out what I can tolerate, or get weak easily. BUT then I remember how bad I felt ALL the time 50 lbs ago, how bad my food choices made me feel, and how horrible tight clothes feel. I am SO excited about what the future holds. Traveling, running 5 Ks with my sister, sharing clothes with my daughters, and shopping trips with my friends!!! Sleeved 12/10/12 and HAPPY !!!

When I look at myself and what I accomplish weight wise I would say YES!! But when I sit and think about cutting out a part of my that was normal and nothing wrong with it, not knowing the long term effects, all the Vitamin and constant Protein and also the complication that iggy has I deeply regret it to a point where I'm terrified about my future.

I would do it again although in the beginning it is tough I will be 2 months out on the 8th and still learning how to work with my new friend even though it does get frustrating at times I would do it again in a heartbeat! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
