wish I had never had this surgery

Post Date: 10/4/06 10:09 am thank you all for your support......Sometimes I find it hard to be positive. I get so down and feel so sick and in so much pain....I have asked god to help with this mess I created in my body. I did not have to have that surgery but I did and look at what I have done to myself. Icreated this mess and now have no idea as to what I should do to fix it now....I wish I had never had gastric bypass and I wish as many people as I tell would understand it is not always pretty and it does have complications to some people. This ball game I lost at and I admit it but I should not have to keep suffering. Thank you all again for your support Sonn

I am really sorry you are hurting so bad.. I will pray for you to feel better. Nobody should have to suffer and be in pain. Take care and keep us posted.

thank you for praying for me. I need all the prayers I can get. This surgery is not easy for everyone......it is very bad to some people.

when did you have your surgery?

Hey sweetie read my profile I'm 24 yrs out... the second surgery I was in so much pain the doc didn't believe me I just kept on the pain meds.. I found another doc who believed me I too wished for a while so many things...the pain just flipped me out.... I ate cheese and it gave me more pain just didn't know it..I ate instant cereal.and sugar sub that messed with my system more pain... the calcuim I was taking messed with my system too... I kept with the basics till I found what was messing with my system... I got depressed because of the pain...worked on one thing at a time.. and am ok... e-mail me.. I'll listen... ask a few questions and help you THINK this out... hopeful

I would love to email you. Send me your address. or reply back here. So down about all of this

Hello, sorry to here this.  I wish you the best. I haven't had the surgery yet, but what happen?

there are more days than not that I wish I have not had this surgery also, I hate the pain and the discomfort of when I eat or when I don't eat, I hate the way it makes me feel, I hate the comments about how I look now, I hate my new body and I hate all of the feelings that I have about everything.  I share your pain, laughter and tears in this journey and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  I am not sure what to do either I am thinking about going to a head doctor so I can get my brain wrapped around all of this.  Good luck and best wishes to you.

2 questions: 1)  you hate your new body?  I can understand hating the impact of the WLS on your system, but isn't your body at least looking better on the outside? 2)  Would your complications have been different with a different form of WLS?
