Regret

What do you do, or has anyone ever regretted getting this sleeve? I am 8 days post op and I feel myself slipping into a depression wishing I wouldn't have ever started this journey. I really hate feeling this way and my husband feels bad that I'm so upset all of the time. Help please any advice or encouragement is more than welcome !!!

I haven't seen these numbers in over 20years! Yes, I miss food a bit, but the pros out weigh the cons and I am never going back, food is no longer important. I love dressing up each morning for work. hang in there life only gets better each day! if you can't shake the sad feelings talk to your dr. Our doctor puts all his patients on anti depressants for 6 months.
