    Never regretted it for a single moment. The first weeks, even the first 3 months were "hard" but oh so worth it. I love my life as a sleever!

    I regretted it for about 2 minutes waking up in my hospital room but then quickly decided that there was nothing I could do to change my surgery....So I began to live it.....I loved my morphine drip b

Hello...(im not 6 months out but just want to let you know my experiance so far...lol..)

Im six days post op and the first two-three days YESSSSSS i regretted it... but now i feel ok.... sometimes i forget i even had surgery.. the only issue i have now is getting the right amount of protein..

Hope this helps :)

I'm only 12 days post op, but life SUCKS right now. I was completely unprepared for how difficult the recovery was going to be. I wouldn't go so far as to say I regret it, but I've had my moments.

I have my 6 mo follow up appt next week (4-30 will be my 6 mo date). I don't regret it for one second. Even the first few days (which sucked)...I knew I was in it for the long haul with this amazing gift I have been given. Each day I remind myself why I had the surgery and how luck I am to have a new chance at a healthy life.

I regretted it for about 2 minutes waking up in my hospital room but then quickly decided that there was nothing I could do to change my surgery....So I began to live it.....I loved my morphine drip because I didn't feel a thing.... :) It was rough the first 2 weeks especially when I went to lunch with my family and they didn't have my veggie beef soup that was so delicious and I couldn't find anything else that I wanted. My son and his girlfriend got a really delicious plate of food that smelled so good.....But overall, I love my sleeve and the positive side affect of being skinny. :)
