My surgery is scheduled for April 30th. I'm excited and scared at the same time!! For those of you that have had the Gastric Sleeve any regrets?? Honesty please

I posed-that same question to others before surgery! I am happy to report based on my own experience... No regrets.

NO. I have my life back, who could regret that?

No. For.me sleeve was what I always hoped the band would be but wasn't.

I have no regrets. I liked my band, but it had too many complications for me. With the sleeve I actually feel full and am no longer consumed about eating.

Nope not at all

No regrets. I feel great. I wish I would have done it 10 years ago.

Yes, only one major one, not having this life changing surgery a few years ago.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.

Nope none at all. Wish they had this as an option back when I did the band. I hated the band never lost much weight and had a lot of issues. The sleeve has been amazing. I feel full a lot sooner. I don't vomit at all like I did when I had the band. I have never been this size in my adult life. It makes it much easier to make the right choices because I can have a small salad or a banana and actually be full on that. No regrets. Just happiness.

Like everyone above, i do not regret having the sleeve. I had a pouch form above the band, so in essence i was growing another stomach! I would have days where i had no restriction at all, then other days where everything would get "stuck" and i would have to run for dear life to the bathroom. Having the sleeve has been amazing, i have the restriction i need, but i don't feel the need to run to the bathroom after every meal! It's just so much easier, and it allows me to really enjoy life for what it is

Wishing you all the best with your weight loss journey xox

I'm overjoyed that each and everyone of you feel the same way. I know that in the long run everything will be worth it I'm just ready for the surgery to be over I will keep you guys posted have a blessed day!!!

No regrets - the sleeve does everything that the band was supposed to do.

2 wks out and I wish I would have done the sleeve the first time ! So far so good

I was wondering the same thing. I go for my first consultation tomorrow. Very nervous!!! Is it worth the risk?Worried, if I'll have the energy to keep with with 3 kids, how will this affect my marriage, how long will it take to recover, will I really have to be out of work for 2 - 4 weeks, what if something goes wrong??? So many questions, it's overwhelming but I'm tired of holding my head down in shame because of my weight. When my husband and I started dated I was around 130. I've almost doubled that weight. I weigh more today than I did at 9 month pregnant. I'm sick of yo-yoing, losing 30, gaining 50. Ive probably lost 300 hundred pounds, only to gain what feels like 500 back over the years. Praying I make the right decision and thankful for this site and the everyone's willingness to share.

I regret my G.S. surgery. I had a complication from l.b. then later sleeve. Blood clot from l.b. port area. I was doing great till 2 weeks after.but I am finding out this is very common.So now I feel so much better listening to.This to shall pass. I will love this change once I can do regular things. Being out and about. Its all my nerves!
