Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?

  1. 1. Knowing what you know now about weight loss surgery, would you do it again if you had the chance to make your decision again?

    • Yes, without a doubt! The surgery has been everything I’d hoped for.
      242
    • Yes, probably. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m losing weight and feel that this was my best option.
      82
    • Yes, but I would have chosen a different type of weight loss surgery.
      14
    • No. I’ve had complications and my health has suffered and/or I haven’t been hitting my weight loss goals.

    • I haven’t had the surgery yet, but I’m looking at the results of this poll carefully to help me make my decision!

I am four weeks out, and right now I regret my decision. I had the surgery for a better quality and healthy life but I feel that I will never feel "right" again. I feel like everything gets stuck in my chest (like a pill that went down the wrong way). I hope it gets better and hope I will be happy with my decision in a month from now.

Give it some time. I felt pretty awful until about 6 weeks, and not really normal until 8 weeks. Now I feel amazing! (I am about 12 weeks post-op.)

I was skeptical for about the first month post-op because if how I felt (headaches' date='so thirsty,tired, sore) but now that I'm starting my third month I am very pleased. I would do it again because the initial symptoms I mentioned are about gone and I've lost 47lbs in 9weeks! Yaaaay![/quote']

Congrats

This is making me so scared! I have struggled with my weight for over 20 years. I have sleep apnea, high cholesterol, high triglycerides. I have gained and lost 50lbs or more at least 10 times!

I just pray everything will be okay!

All i wanted was food too,so i thought. I tasted some corn chowder that I pureed and it was not at all what i wanted... crave things i ate in the Low Carb lifestyle that is too early for me to have like meats and vegetables. I cant wait to have some meatloaf!

Hang in there! The first two weeks were the worse for me. After that passed, each week got easier. I'm 9 weeks out and life seems back to normal (minus the food)... I still go through bouts of missing certain things, but nothing that I would consider trading my new tummy for.

I wonder if a notification is sent when someone casts a vote, even if he/she doesn't make a comment?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
