I regretted it when I was in pain...but I knew from reading this site that this was normal to feel this way immediate post op....loving it more and more as the pain goes away and the scale is already moving downward! Still on clear liquids...wish I was on regular food and healed...then I would probably say, no regrets!

Not at all . I'm glad oft choice it is a wonderful thing.

A woman I work with had the bypass, and I don't see that she is any better off than me for having gotten it, since she is still very definitely obese. And I understand from folks that have shared an office with her that the flatulence is powerful!

No regrets here. Best 12k I ever spent!!!!!!

No regrets best 1200 dollars ever spread ... Insurance paid the rest

I was on the fence about which to get. I was set on RNY at first since I had a lapband go so bad for me but my doctor really encouraged me to consider that most sleeve patients so just as well as RNY patients with FAR less risk of long term effects. ALSO our restriction is more permanent That is not to say that sleeve patients cannot eat around a sleeve but stretching a pouch and stretching a sleeve are two very different beasts.

Hey Connie. I thought you had already went through the process? Is everything ok? What about your husband?

so I got a sleeve Sept 6th 2012 and I am totally happy with it , my sister got the RNY August 20th 2012 , I can say that she took longer to recover (10 weeks) has had more issues than me with getting sick , weakness ect.... and we are loosing so far at the same pace ... I am 85 lbs down and she is 95 lbs down, I can eat more variety of food w/o any issues just in smaller quantities she cant eat allot of different food because of getting the dumping syndrome but she can eat more than me at one sitting ...

I think they both have their positives and negatives. study up and make the choice that fits you best...
