I am scheduled to have my surgery on Weds and have already lost 12lbs since the 18th of March adhering to the pre-op diet. Does anyone have any major regrets about the surgery?

nope. I'd do it again every year if I had to. One of the best decisions I've ever made, and my only regret is I didn't do it years earlier.

I like this idea 😍

I don’t have any insights about post-surgery regrets, but we’re surgery twins!

The last few weeks have been both super fast and weirdly slow, and I know the fact that surgery is 48 hours away has me in a bit of a spin!
Well done on sticking with your pre-op diet!
Are you feeling nervous? Would it help to share what your specific concerns are here?

I’m feeling a bit apprehensive, but my partner is a bit of a (kind, loving, and supportive) nervous wreck on my behalf.

Zero regrets about surgery, except as mentioned above not doing it sooner.

Only regret is not doing it a decade earlier. Has been a solid decision and an experience I'm incredibly grateful for.

None. Wish I hadn't waited so long (although I know the timing was right for various reasons).

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
