1. Do you regret having your surgery (whether it was band, RNY, etc) ?
2. Are you happy with your decision?
3. Best part so far?
4. Worst part so far?
5. Best advice you received prior to surgery?
6. Something you wish you were made aware of prior to surgery?

Would love to see what you guys have to say!

1.  No I don't regret my decision for DS
2.  I'm only a week post op and I have lost 17 lbs so far - great decision
3.  Very little eat, restriction.
4.  Fatigue, bloating (from the surgery) and mild constipation
5.  Listen to your body, walk, sip and rest
6.  N/A

1) Not at all, I had VSG
2) I am!
3) I'm proud of myself.  I went through this basically alone (my husband is deployed) with 3 kids.  I'm superwoman!
4) I had an open procedure and I'm still sore when bending over
5) Walk, sip, walk, sip, walk, sip
6) That I wouldn't be able to reach into the washing machine.  LOL!  I didn't think that part through.

 1. No regrets--I am making life changes that have been a long time in coming!
2.  Very Happy with the decision.  Don't know exactly how much I've lost so far, but it's at least 30 pounds from my heaviest point.
3.  Best part is not having to worry about what I will eat next, or whether it will be enough for me.
4.  Some fatigue and lingering aches and pains, but it's all getting better!
5.  Best advice--follow the doctor's plans exactly and to the letter!
6.  Wish I would have done this sooner!

I know I hate it too!  Wonder what causes that?  I'm going back to work on Monday so that should be really fun! 
I can't sleep on my stomach yet...maybe when I can that will help. (I hope!)

Good luck-hope your weight falls off quickly like it has been & that your pain goes away.  I haven't had any breast pain-mine has just been on my right side-like a real sharp "pinching" when I get up from bed or turn too far.

wow ! 42 lbs-that's great! I'm not sleeping great either-I might sleep from 10 until 2 or 4 if I'm lucky then I have to go downstairs and doze in the recliner or on the couch for a while. Grrr-I hate that. I don't do well without my good sleep! Makes me grumpy.
