Is it worth it? Did I make the right decision?



Recommended Posts

It is definitely worth it! You are worth it too! I sold a truck to pay for a good portion of my surgery and I can certainly say that I made the right move.

Yes. A longer, healthier and happier life, more NSVs than you could shake a stick at, better self esteem, comorbidities that are lessened or gone, etc..

My only regret is not having WLS sooner.

Sleeved 8/23/16. HW 271.5 SW 246.9 CW 205.1 I'll be in onerdland by Christmas. I'm 55. I wish I had done this shortly after the birth of my second child 13 years ago. I had been almost crippled by pain in my knees (I need them replaced). They still hurt, but not nearly as bad - I don't need narcotics for the pain. I have more energy. I don't have clothes - I'm spending a lot of time in thrift shops because I'm dropping through sizes in about a month. Started at size 20-22 pants now hovering between 14 and 12. I have about 50 pounds to my goal. I was scared when I started - the week before surgery I almost backed out. This was the second best decision I've ever made. (Marrying my hubby was the best!)

I have been thinking the same thing. I am currently only 11 days post op so I know that it will get better but I am still having some stomach pain and I really miss food! I even still have trouble getting enough Water down. But it has got to be worth it because I know that I will continue to heal and things will get better. I am already down 16 pounds in 11 days.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
