Long Term Post op

Hi Everyone !

I'm just wondering if anyone that is a long term post op (longer than 3 years) have regretted their decision?

I'm 2 weeks from having a surgery date and have all of a sudden started having doubts & concerns...

Can anyone allay my fears or identify with what I'm feeling and help me to return to my rock solid decision that this will lead to a much better life than continuing this fruitless struggle?

by now, you are post op - how is it going??? hope no problems

all those doubts you had pre-op are very common

some people experience buyers remorse after the fact too

for most/all, those feelings disappear

"fruitless struggle" :huh:

oh no, please don't feel like that

i am one month shy of being 2 years post op (one year at goal :) )

my health has totally improved!!!!

i no longer take diabetes, high blood pressure meds!!!! no more CPAP

my biggest "reward" is now having to only take 1/2 my epilepsy medication!!!!

I have never been happier, self-confident and great looking :wub: in my whole life ;)

as many/most/all of "us" say "the only regret I have is not having the sleeve surgery earlier"

holding a glass of Water up to you and your happier, healthier, longer life :)

speedy recovery
