Does anyone have any regrets about having the surgery. If you know what you had to go Through would you do it again. How life changing has it been for you.

Hey! I had this feeling for the first 3 to 4 months. I could not imagine life being 'normal' again. There is a lot of physical and mental adjustment that is needed.

After finding out its not impossible to come up with 35,000 to have all this extra skin remove & do some fixing. No regrets at all

No regrets at all 6.5 mos out reached my goal weight of 160 down from hw 301 and dos 270 no diabetes any longer no high blood pressure life is good

Not only would I do it...I would have done it years ago! So worth it long term.

My first regret is not choosing the RNY the first time around.

My second regret is the first 2.5 weeks after my conversion i thought I had made a HUGH mistake because of the horrific pain.

Everyday I awake and I am thankful that I have a wonderful bariatric clinic and Surgeon to see me through the rest of my weight loss journey. 5 weeks out I think it was the right decision for the second part of my life, i will be healthier and I am sure once all the aches and pains go I will be back to my happy go lucky self:-)

I'm a week after surgery and still in so much pain I think about regrets all day. Add the not being able to eat and diarrhea every day and it sure does not help. I'm trying so hard to think ahead and mentally get back to the excitement of a new life.

What you are going through is normal. It's very scary when your body has changed and your brain is trying to keep up with it, not to mention dealing with head hunger, pain, bowel issues and everything else. The pain does go away, you will be able to eat and relieve it or not-may even deal with being constipated (I'm sure that sounds heavenly to you now huh). Just stay around people that are supportive An have faith in yourself and your body. It will catch up and figure out what to do-its just in shock right now. If it does get worse though you should call your doctor. They're there to help and give advice, etc. Take care and best wishes for a quick and full recovery!!!
