Any regrets??



Recommended Posts

So I'm curious; I've read alot of stories here and have to say this site has helped me so much! but I would love to know, does anyone regret having a bypass/sleeve? If so, why? Im due surgery on Jan 12th. I want to be as prepared as possible. Thanks!!

None.At.All

except maybe that I waited until I was almost 60 years old to do it!

Only regret is not doing it years ago when I first started considering it.

Not so far:) Surgery was super easy for me. Worst part was liquid diet on either side of surgery...was so hungry!!!

Even if I'm not a huge loser......getting off my BP meds and diuretic, and not having edema in my legs....is so darned cool! I feel really good, tons of energy.

I doubt I'll get to my goal weight, (hoping to, but trying to be realistic)....but if I can just spend the rest of my life under 200....I'll be a seriously happy camper.

Been VERY happy so far!

The jury is still out. I’m only 16 days post op, and it’s been a difficult recovery so far.

Hope you feel better soon

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
