Would you do it again?

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! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
