Are you having regrets? I'm sure it will pass... I'm pre-op for the sleeve

I'm not sure if it's regrets or the fear of the drastic change I just made. Or the "internet" and the bad results story.

You are post op. Please trust your choice, follow all dr. Instructions...

Many of us are the happiest and healthiest we have been in years, thanks to the band.

Don't believe everything on the internet. The band works for a lot of people just fine... They may not post much.

For some it does not, and they post about it and their revisions.

Now that you are on the other side, welcome and try to enjoy what could be the best decision of your life!

Please keep us updated.

Ps. NO REGRETS

I have not had any regrets.. when I first had my surgery I would say the first week I was scared that I would not be able to follow the rules and lose weight. I have done fine , had no problems or complications but I try to be very compliant. My Dr. had some rules such as no straws, no soda's and no gum. Negative stories on the internet can make you feel afraid or anticipate something happening to you, ignore those stories and do your own thing. I have maintained my weight loss for 3 years. I feel great, have managed to get healthier, no diabetes, no high cholesterol and blood pressure back to normal. I would say that was worth it. You will mourn the loss of your favorite foods, but honestly there are very few things that I still crave. I wish you the very best and look forward to you posting your success.
