Any regrets or bad side efects?!



Recommended Posts

Curious?!... does anyone regret getting the sleeve or any other wls.. If so why? also has anyone had any complications after having the gastric sleeve surgery?

Not one single minute of buyer's remorse!!! I have been excited and on board since I woke up in recovery......really since the day I decided to do this, it is the single best decision I've made for myself, aside from marrying my husband....who, BTW, is my biggest cheerleader!!! No complications here, but I didn't have any health issues prior to surgery, that might be part of why I've had a pretty easy time.

Were you allergic to the Protein shakes before your op?

Nope. I was drinking the exact same ones before the surgery on my pre op diet.

Things happen. What can ya do? Deal with it and keep moving forward!!! I finally don't itch today! It's taken a few days but that makes me happy!

Ive never regretted one minute. The only day that I said "what did I do?" was the day after surgery. But that went away and Ive been loving life ever since. Im 9 months out, 93 pounds down, doing things I only dreamed of. Just recently went to Hawaii wth the hubby and zip-lined, snorkeled in the tide pools, hiked the Waipio Valley, did another 6 mile round trip hike, climbed mountains, did yoga on a cliff overlooking the ocean and walked around 'all natural' (if you catch my drift) a lot much to my hubbys enjoyment lol. The sleeve has changed my life or should I say 'saved' my life. I completely understand the saying "nothing tastes as good as 'healthy' feels" now. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what will happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live. -_-

11 months out and not one single regret. The only thing I could do without is acid reflux. However my reflux did get much better after I lost about 70lbs. Now it is only if I eat too late. So its not unmanageable or out of control

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
