I Know this is not supportive and will make a few people upset. But it's My Rant & Rave.

This is not aimed at those experiencing complications from surgery. It's about people that REGRET surgery after a few days or weeks of the going getting tough. Did they research WLS?! Or how how read the many stories on this site about others experiences after surgery? No one said it was going to be easy. Feeling nauseous, vomiting, no energy, not being able to get in all your liquids and Proteins is pretty common. That is no true reason to REGRET this life saving procedure!

Yes I do understand the emotional effects surgery can have on you with your hormones being out of whack. Still not a excuse. I was prepared for all these things. In the hospital I had a few issues with the nursing staff where my pain medication was withheld from me. I was in pain for hours crying, had to call my sister to come to the hospital in the middle of the night. Not ONCE did I wish I didn't have the surgery. I knew soon or later my pain would be managed! And that's the whole point. It will get better. You can't whine and regret things because your experiencing a rough time. Life is like that too.

So UNLESS your have a serious life altering complication SUCK IT UP!!! You knew the possible side effects...

Rant Over

Lol likewise she should be able to tell her feelings and not have everyone jump all over her..... yes we all deal with things in our lives and heck yes some of us can deal with more them other....but just as some feel like they need there hands held throughout there journey others such as myself need to pull strength from within to get through it to each there own. I have no regrets in my life everything happened exactly as god planned I have raised three adult sons, been with my hubby over 21 years, all while being overweight...life is what u make it....make excuses and u will continue watching life pass u by or just set your mind and don't look back..no one will be there to keep u from eating too much, or eating slider foods but u so get your mind straight and just do it!!!!

Hypocrisy at its finest. I've seen a couple posters in this thread come down on other posters for eating the wrong foods. But I guess it's different because they're "concerned" and "tough love" is needed. Sure as long as it's not an issue they're dealing with or dealt with in the past.

boxers too pull those suckers up! Funny this is a social website and you are in the rant and rave section...some will support by coddling some such as myself will be straight forward....everyone's different. If my way don t work please by all means remove me from your Christmas card list...lol

I would rather pull down some boxers....silent words

I had prepared my self for this surgery. I had lap band earlier...so some of the side effects were the same..infact when I had the band it was a shock to me...felt very weak,could sleep for days and so on...my face became so haggard due to dehydration.

with the sleeve I had mentally prepared myself...and so it was not so bad..I had decided that I would be strong and tolerate it. I took inspiration form a cousin who has just recovered from cancer. She suffered so much,surely I can tolerate my minor problems which will soon go away.

I thought I would be weak and in bed for days....instead i went to work for some time on the 7th day. Ofcourse the weakness did set in later.

all the best to you all.

Next up... food porn and beating with sticks.

me personally I will get on here and tell everyone about a slip of my lapband but I do not play poor me .....life is horrible bull crap. When you see the same people whine day in and day out its annoying... The lapband does not change or help a case of a bad personality. I did not get my lapband to sit behind a computer for the rest of my life and find the negative in everything I got it to live a better life....since getting lapband I have done 10 5ks, I got a motorcycle license and ride, no me sitting on couch stuffing my face. I would love to see more posts about the positive things that people are accomplishing...people go live!!!!

You sure sound like you talk a good game, I bet when you were calling your sister you regret having the surgery, I think them not giving you pain meds had you singing a different tune.

That's great you survived your hardships. As you said you don't know me. I know from past experiences I can get past anything. I had to fight tooth and nail to get cleared psychologically because of some of the things I experienced while deployed. But I overcame and proved one psych doc wrong and here I am. Doing better than those that got approved right away. Your blues are not mine but I don't throw a pity party. I tell myself that is the past and it will not hinder me. It's what I do next that defines me. So yes I can rant about whiners. It's my right to in this thread. This is the Perfect Place.

I don't think some comprehend what I said or that just read whine and get offended. If your going to rant & rave, whine, do it, whatever make you feel better. My POINT is that REGRETTING surgery over a few Expected Temporary symptoms is unnecessary whining. That is bit much. Maybe they weren't really ready for this Serious surgery.

They should have fought the psychologically clearance a little harder to clear you of your if I'm not having issues or regrets attitude and until I do your not allowed attitude. No wonder you didn't get your pain meds from that nurse sounds like you should have put your big girl panties on.

Wow I don't talk a good game I live u don't know me when I went on and explained slip of my lapband there was no whining i posted facts it was my own fault. Take your shots at me all u want cause I have a backbone and don't get my panties in a wad over stuff from strangers that know nothing about me....have a great night!!!

I plan on it you have something I wouldn't call it a back bone

I think that everyone is entitled to their moment of "remorse" here and should not have to worry about being chastised for it!! Gee whiz ranters. Go rant on your own facebook page or something. Aren't we supposed to offer support and encouragement???

I HOPE this was the post that someone was trying to report!!!

Wow people its her thread if u don't like it don't reply her opinion is hers not yours if u want someone to be all rainbows and unicorns then why are u here title is rants and raves not the world is perfect....

If no reply is wanted, write it in your diary and lock it up.

And, in my opinion as a host, this thread has officially gone too far. We have gone from a disagreement/discussion to personal attacks, something that is forbidden in ANY of the forums, including Rants. If we cannot disagree without attacking other members personally, I will ask that this thread be locked.

Thank you for your cooperation.

On two accounts you don't know what your talking about. First you got the wrong poster. Second don't assume about a situation you know little of. Well you know what they assumptions

Theoldmeagain its ok your awesome and I like the way you think! But it is what it is people are going to disagree I like a good discussion but that guy is looking for a fight not worth your time

That is true. It's hard for me to back down from anything. Ever now and then I need to remind myself some things are not worth it.

i agree with lipstick...this thread needs to be locked as it is just going down a dead end and stupid ass road....
