do you have any regrets?

I was just wondering if you guys have any regrets or if there was one thing you could do different...would ya?....

Yes, I would've had Duodenal Switch surgery instead of RNY.


ETA: I sounded so ungrateful!  Don't get me wrong, I am thankful I have kept off some weight. I was absolutely miserable before surgery.

I would not have done anything diffrent ,my surgery has not only saved my life it gave it back to me ,without the surgery i know that i wouldnt be here.
The one thing i didnt do that i wish i would have was take measurements...

I absolutely have no regrets about the surgery, and now 15 months out the only thing different I would do, is not taste different things to see if I could tolerate them, that is a bad thing, which nothing used to make me sick, and now something is making me sick, don't know for sure what it is, maybe bread products. if you can live 9 months without it, don't start eating different things just because you can.

I now have some low blood sugar and low pressure issues, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Remember that nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!!!!

I feel better about myself now than I have in YEARS!  I truly feel like I can enjoy life again.

I regret that I didn't do it sooner! 

I regret that I let myself think WLS was not an option since it wasn't covered under our insurance.  Hubby convinced me if it was something I really wanted then we'd find a way too MAKE it happen.  We did and 6 months later we MADE it happen again for him!

Although I'm 100% happy with my band, I do regret that I jumped so quickly and didn't reasearch all the various types of weight loss surgery there are!  Then again, our self-pay status would have had me going with the band anyway since there was no way I was going across the border!

I don't regret anything.  Absolutely no offense to any of the DS'ers or RNY'ers; but I knew going into this I would never do anything that re-arranged my anatomy.  Not that that is a bad choice (it is not a bad choice... it is a personal choice); it was just never an option for me as a choice due to my personal beliefs.  So the band was the way for me regardless.  It is hard; it is a struggle and many times when I am driving the porcelain us because I am stuck from eating too fast or just really tight due to stress; I STILL have no regrets.
If I could have changed anything, I would have looked into this sooner.  But maybe I wasn't emotionally ready earlier....who knows

Yup just one that I didn't. That I didn't have it done sooner. Other than that no complaints no regrets

If I knew then what I know now I would have had my RNY gastric bypass done 10 years ago.  That's my only regret so far.  I knew I could lose weight with Weigh****chers but I never was able to keep it off.  Between age 18 and my current age 54 there have been so many times when I lost and regained more than I lost.  I finally realized with my body/brain chemistry I was not going to be able to lose and maintain the more than 200 lbs. of excess weight unless I did something drastically different.  I know this surgery is not a cure - but it sure is an effective tool.  The support online has been fantastic since I am so far away from the local support group meetings.

I am thrilled with my Sleeve!  I wouldn't have done anything differently.
