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.

Totally worth it, just wish I had done it earlier !

I am going to be one hell of a sexy sixty year old :P

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
