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. 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!

 yes I'm home. How are you doing? How did everything go?

Oh thank you so much.  I am sure you're home too now.  I pray for full recovery and LIFE. 

I am the same way up between 2 & 4 and I cant stand it anymore! I really wish I was sleeping thru the night.
