Does anyone really regret their procedure Bi-pass?

Tish, that's French! 

I just passed my 4 year surgiversary.. and have zero regrets... 

I worried about that, too. My tastes radically changed with the surgery and everything tastes way too sweet to me now. I'm not even tempted by desserts (a big deal for me). I have some sugar -- can't drink my tea in the morning without a little sugar -- but I've cut WAY back. Sometimes my husband will order a dessert at dinner and sometimes I'll have a bite, but truthfully it usually doesn't even appeal to me.

Worrying about no sugar should be the least of your problems. Things will change so much for you and you'll wonder why you were even concerned about sugar! :)

Stephanie-don't worry about dumping and a life without sugar.  Worry about life in general.  I wish I'd had the RNY so much sooner then I had.  I wish instead of doing the darn band in 09 that I had the guts to go for bypass.  Then in 2012 talked out of bypass on the way to the OR for surgery in favor of the sleeve.  I wish I had done bypass first.  I'd be happier and healthier now and living life (The life I want to live so badly but am stopped by all sorts of issues).....Instead I am a 2x revision patient, I am losing on average 1-1.5lbs a weeks....which may not sound like much, but it's better then where I would be without the surgery.  I had my insides rearranged and WISHED I'd done this in 2001 when I first could have.

I wish i had dumped i can eat anything was 338 now 209 1 yr out wish i wouldnt have had surgery so dissappointed in my results cant lose went back to basics to try again.

I don't dump, and sugar was never my thing anyway.  I'd kill you to get to a pizza, but sugar not so much.  I do not regret my RNY for a single second.  It is the best thing I have ever done for myself.  I feel comfortable in my skin in a way that I never have before.  It is a miracle, and one I am grateful for every single day.

My only regret is that I don't dump!!  I WISH I would dump- but I don't....  If I didn't need the negative reinforcement, I wouldn't need the surgery to start with. Don't fret. Trust that God will only give you what you can handle.

No, I don't regret it.  And it's not a life without sugar - it's about moderation.  I'm drinking a Pepsi right now.  Just a small amount, though.

I had a major sweet tooth pre-surgery, and was so terrified of dumping and living without sugar, that I put off having surgery for years. DO THE SURGERY AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I tested out dumping very early on, and got the biggest backlash ever on this site. I don't regret it. I needed to know the extent to which my life was going to change, so I could be prepared. I sort of dump, I call it. It's not full blown dumping from what I hear, but I do have a slight reaction when I have too much lactose at once, and occasionally from sugar alcohols. I can tolerate Equal, but not Stevia. I don't think I've had enough sugar at once to really have a bad reaction, but I think I would if I do. Regardless, when learning how to eat again, your tastes do change. I can go without carbs no problem, don't really miss them. I never got as much protein in my diet before surgery as I do now. In learning how to eat all over again, and feeling full and satisfied from eating differently, I have taken back the power from food. I don't crave things like I used to. I still miss certain things, like a bite of pizza, but I don't need them, or want them like I used to. Food is no longer emotional, or entertainment. I eat food that the kids look at me and gag, like cottage cheese or greek yogurt, but I don't care anymore. My health is so much more important! I went from wanting sugar a lot, to feeling like my protein shake and yogurt can be too sweet at times. Your life will change in immeasurable ways, and you will wish you did this sooner. 

I think the hesitation comes from a life of failure - one more thing to fail at.. AND no sugar and dumping.  So, I failed at diets for my ENTIRE LIFE ... the whole thing. Fat since birth - that's me. Now, I am "normal" - it is still hard to believe. I wear single digit clothes and it is worth keeping my sugar intake under 15 grams a serving. I promise. It takes a while to get into the groove but once you really start losing it will all be worth it.
