I agree 100% about not having it done sooner. I wouldn't have been nearly as succesful any time sooner ( and honestly I needed to learn a few more lessons before I truly became "ready".

My only regret is getting to the point of needing surgery in the first place. If I could have avoided ever getting morbidly obese in the first place, I would have been much better off. The limitations I live with now are payment for treating my body so poorly for years, but I would take them every time over gaining all that weight back.

I regret losing a digestive system that never had problems with constipation or diarrhea. 

I regret having a medicine cabinet with suppositories, enemas, anti-diarrhea medicine, fiber pills, vitamins, iron and butterfly pads.

I regret not being able to eat sugar without dumping.  I get tired of taking vitamins, doing lab work, counting calories and protein, exercising and worrying about my weight. 

There are things about the surgery that make me glad I had it and things that make me regret having it.

I know that the future will offer ways for people to control their weight that are less invasive and life changing than the surgeries available today.

What we have today is the best available, but better things will come along.

I'm two years post-op and I regret nothing about the surgery.  I regret that I let myself get to the point where I needed surgery.  But I'm doing the best I can now and that's got to count for something.

Almost 16 years out and no regrets that mean anything.

I have to admit, every now and again I'd kill for a cheeseburger.  Then I remember that red meat and bread don't like me, so I'm better off without.

I wish I'd done it ten years sooner.  What I don't regret is that I no longer have to buy a new wardrobe (one or two sizes larger) every season; I no longer black out tying my shoes, and I can walk more than three steps without requiring medical attention.

As White Dove mentioned, there are things that are the 'new normal' But even with certain things that are unpleasant... the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences(vitamins, bathroom habits etc.).... I have not been this small my entire adult life and I am 57. - 40+ years...the last time I was smaller than this was when I was 13.... no regrets.
