Any Regrets?

I was recently given a surgery date and was approved by my insurance company and so I have to say that I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Dr. Alfons Pomp is my surgeon and I will be at Cornell Medical center, so I feel like I am in very good hands. I wanted to know if anyone who has had the surgery (RNY-lap) has had any regrets regarding the procedure? Thanks again for your ongoing support and encouragement. Karen

I had open RNY and I have no regrets, when I was brought in to the OR I was smiling when I got on the table. Wishing you the best though out your journey Christine

Yeah I have to agree with Christine I was very happy the day of my surgery. Plus I'm still very happy about having WSL. No Regrets here. But I've heard of some people having them. Just keep you faith in your higher power and trust that He will see you through the surgery. Everything will be just find. Good Luck Maria

Thanks so much for responding I don't know if I'll be smiling (because I'll be SO nervous), but I am happy that I am taking this step for myself. All the best, Karen

I remember when I came out of the surgery they said I had a little complication, I had an allergic reaction to penycillin and I remember asking, but u guys operated me right? lol I have not had no complications at all, thanks God. So I defenetly have NO regreats..... Annie A. 297/ 168/ want to be 150 my personal goal
