Does anyone regret their surgery?

Is there anyone here who has had sleeve surgery who regrets it? If so, why?

      I have one huge regret...that I didn't do it sooner.

      To be honest, I did have regrets the first few months. I was pretty sick (turned out to be a stricture) and while I felt better after they fixed that, I was fairly nauseated for 6 months. (Zofran wa

      Not a sleeve girl but I originally wanted one. I ended up with bypass because I had severe gerd and it was a better option for me personally. No regret ever, not for one second. I have a whole new l

    Totally regret it! My three friends also regret it. But we can't change it now.

    If you read the entire thread you will understand @@GinaCampbell 's very rough experience. Gina explains it in terrific detail.

    Thank you! I am being re admitted tomorrow to the hospital because of these ongoing bowel issues so I can see no end to all this anytime soon. Prayers would be much appreciated!

    Wonderful! I hope they can figure this out and get you on the road to recovery. Hopefully you will no longer regret the surgery (as much) once you regain your health.

    Thank you but I will always believe that this was a bad decision for me as it is not the complications that make me feel that way.

    Good - what the Nut recommends

    Bad - what you reach for after a few drinks

    Let's hope and pray that every nutritionist is a good one, huh?

    I am glad to hear that you are going back to the hospital. If you do have Cdiff, things can go downhill in a hurry.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I am sad that all people do not get the information and the care that I personally received from my Bariatric center of excellence which was required by my insurance.

    The health care systems are so screwed up everywhere these days that you have to advocate for yourself.

    I really really hope that you feel better soon and can turn the corner so you get some semblance of your life back.

    Please take care!

    I regret it. I'm sicker now than I ever was obese.

    If it is C diff, I won't know for several days as the results won't be back until then. The scary part is that I will be on an open communal ward, using the communal toilet and shower, during the time that we don't know why I have severe diarrhea because I have IBS-d.

    What's going on?

    I am curious too. You are down 64 pounds since May which is good. Now I will grant you at any given time, viruses happen, so I don't know if that's the issue, or if there is something else. (BTW, I'm not casting aspersions, but you are still on the "obese side" according to your profile. But I don't know what you do for exercise or food. Please feel free to fill in more details. I'm not arguing, I just don't have a complete picture.)

    Sorry to those who have had complications - thinking of you all. What a horrible experience it must be!

    I am 3 weeks post op and yes, the first week was tough and I had horrible gastro (TMI) but it's all calming down now and I hope that my future is bright.
