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."

None. I couldn't be happier with my surgery experience, recovery, and progress so far.

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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
