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.
      40
    • Yes, probably. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m losing weight and feel that this was my best option.
      7
    • Yes, but I would have chosen a different type of weight loss surgery.
      1
    • 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!

In a heartbeat. Best decision in my life.

Ditto. I'm only 17 days out and already seeing results that make me happy. :-)

Although I had a bumping beginning, my surgery has been the best decision I have made for my health and life. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner...I love my results, my health is better, I can breathe, sex is excellent, shopping is easier and most important i feel better and look better...

Would I do it again?...my answer is ... yes in 2 heartbeats I would!!!

7 years out and would do it again in a heartbeat. Would I change things had I known what I know now? Absolutely. I would have done low carb to

Maximize my loss and would have gone under my goal to give myself some bounceback room. I also wish i would have done it earlier!

NO!!!! my surgery was may 1st two months ago today and unfortunately I've had nothing but problems. Throwing up, dizziness and horrible stomach pain. My doctors are actually talking about reversing it! I've been in the hospital since may 1st and just came home Friday with a home nurse, I have a picc line that feeds me Vitamins and Protein 24hrs, guess my protein is to low and before reversing I have to have good protein levels or I won't heal. So Yes I regret having it done and I'm sooooo jealous of Anyone that hasn't had complications, so to all of you good luck on your weight loss journey!

If they reverse it that means you will not lose weight unless you are gonna join a gym & have a dietician to help you with losing weight or did you give up all together? I know you had surgery for the best but after knowing your body couldn't handle it what are your plans now? I honestly don't want you to stay over weight. I know there is options for those that surgery didn't work for them.

I jad a lot of complications (not as severe as yours but once I got passed the 4th month I got much better! Everyone kept telling me to just give ur body time to heal and I didn't believe them cause I couldn't eat or keep anything down and I was in pain all the time but after the 4th month things started to slowly get better and now I can finally eat but on occasion I still have to lay down after I eat and rest! But I would do it again without a doubt but if you would have asked me before I would have said no way!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
