Did you say "what did I do" !

I regretted it for the first 10 days because I was nauseated and could not keep anything down. I turned the corner after 10 days and have been great since.

Prior to surgery..for over a year....I researched the surgery. I got onto this site and got to know people who had the surgeries, and I asked questions. I viewed Youtube videos about the surgery, so when I got out of surgery, I regretted nothing. I knew exactly what I was in for before they ever put me under and rolled me back to surgery. I have felt blessed, and privileged to have this surgery to help me get to and maintain a normal weight and be healthy so I can extend my life, I hope. Never one second was there ever any regret.....EVER!

I was sleeved July, 2014 and I had regrets for the first month. I was dehydrated and had terrible pain. I had to sleep sitting up for a month, then everything changed. As soon as I could sleep laying down I was feeling much better about the surgery. This surgery was the best thing I have ever done. I have been below goal since April, 2015. I have so much energy and I love buying new clothes.

Guys I'm three days out and I can say I feel super disappointed. I'm in a lot of pain (abdominal and my chest/espoghagus). I keep reading people aren't in pain. Is there anyone feeling like the game operation guy. My insides feel all twisted up and by the way I cannot stand the smell or sight of most foods especially broth. Please help me!!!

I am 4 days out! December 16th.

You're not alone!

I am still in pain!! The left side is brutal!

No regrets. I keep telling myself this is only temporary.

You have to endure the storm to get to the Rainbow

But.... This loud constant stomach rumbling?!! It's loud like a sink emptying. And feels weird!!

Anyone else?? Is this normal?

Yes! The first time I took a sip of Water and this rumbling happened all I could picture in my mind was a small funnel emptying. It was so strange (I had RNY on 12/14) The loud noises have stopped but I was in pain for a long time.

Never had buyers remorse. I have always known this is the right thing for me.

Yes the first couple of weeks but now that I am feeling better I am glad I decided to go thru with it

[vsghealthymom 16]

At this point I would say I don't have any regret or had but I'm pretty sure it crossed my mind extremely early on during those tough times. Just a reminder it gets better and you made the right choice for you!

When you got up to your hospital room, did you say what did i do.... How long after did you realize you did the right thing

I did for first 4 days. Just had 4 week post op yesterday and have lost 27% of excess weight from 2 weeks prior to surgery. I was told that is 2-3 weeks ahead of what they look for. So those first 4 days are in my rear view mirror

I am a Dec 21st girl and YES YES and YES. I have waited years for my heart to be strong enough, did all the research etc but woke up thinking I had made a huge mistake. I am usually the focused goal type and no looking back girl but this was different. I came home and every night I cried (not a crier) starting about 7 till 8. Looking back I did the same thing after my son was born, but this felt as crazy of a time. Of course right after Christmas my son went to his Dad's and then a big ice storm hit, so everyone was stuck at home. I'm normally a person who enjoys alone time, but it all piled up and kinda Whammied me. Everyday has gotten better and the closer I am to moving on with my plan seems to help me mentally. I know in my heart this is the best thing I will ever do for myself, but I am human and am riding out the ups and downs.
