    Nope! 200+ lbs down and I could not be happier. I had an easy recovery and never had even a second of "buyer's remorse."

    It was my first surgery ever so I had no idea what to expect. The worst part of the whole experience was the pre-op uncertainty.

    My advice? Do everything you are asked to do by your team (pre- and post-op) even if you think you can't or think it is silly. Everything you are asked to do is for your benefit and to minimize risks and complications.

    Zero complications.

    Very smooth process.

    Would do it all over again without hesitation.

    Weight loss has been steady and I'm grateful for it.

    Nine months out and no complications. It's not easy, but the many advances you feel, both in weight loss and in life, make the difficulty worth it. You'll develop a new relationship with food and with yourself that takes some getting used to, but you get there. All in all, totally worth it and my only regret is that I did not do this sooner.

    No complications but I slept almost the entire time in the hospital. I didn't get out of bed to walk until day 2. I was really sensitive to the anesthesia.

    I have No regrets! I hit the 150s yesterday!! 56 lbs gone and I couldn't be happier

    I'm 3.5 years out and my only "side-effect" is that I can't eat carrots. YAY!

    i had no problems with my sleeve surgery

    pre & post op

    gas

    walking

    drinking

    eating

    to name a few

    no problems :rolleyes:

    there are always "possible" complications with any surgery :(

    we are all "living" proof that surgery, outcome is great

    some people are on the fence about having WLS

    my advice is GO Forward with surgery

    don't ever look back!!!

    never look back!!!!

    good luck
