Any regrets? Or any complications post op?

So they had this in the RNY boards BUT was kinda curious on those here in Hawaii who have had it 2+ years out?  How are you doing now...health wise and such?^^  Inquiring mind wants to know >< Mahalo much!!!

 Hi LadyD808,

I had the lapband 1 year ago.  I've lost 93 pounds, and am continuing to loose.  I don't regret it for a second.  I have no more sleep apnea, no joint pain, no asthma, no back pain.  I can open my closet and put on anything ... it used to take me hours to try and decide what to wear before.

I have had some minor bumps in the road.  I have constipation issues (sorry TMI), have been filled too tight once and was uncomfortable until I got some fluid taken out, and occasionally I have acid reflux issues at night.  Even on the on my worst days of these "complications" I am so much happier and healthier.  

Whichever surgery you decide, good luck to you.  I know there are a few gals here that have had RNY, and although this board has been quiet for a few months... keep posting, because everyone checks in when they can.

Aloha,
Nicole

Mahaloz much for the response^^

Hi Lady,
anyway i had RNY in 2008 and so far so good.  my diabetes is controlled and i am off medications. i do get dehyrated sometimes but thats all. i just have to up my fluids. i dont have any regrets except (and u will hear this a lot) that i wish i had done it earlier in my life so that i could have been healthier earlier. anyways good luck. oh and also i have acne now but it is being treated w/medicated lotions. and i have lost  alot of hair.
