I never thought in a million years I would say this ever but yes I regret having my RnY surgery and feel absolutely stupid for ruining my health for vanity. I had surgery in 1999. My wonderful surgeon was completely incompetent when it comes to long term care. The long term is so much more important than the honeymoon stage most WLS people experience. Like the other poster said, your eating issues do not go away with the surgery. They are temporarily controlled but that pouch will stretch out. If you are capable of eating correctly then just do it now. Why have surgery? Everyone thinks it won't happen to them. Any WLS that messes around with your gut is not good. Malabsorbtion catches up with you. Before my surgery I had NO health problems now I am living a nightmare. It has been impossible for me to not be anemic. I am constantly dizzy, forgetful and pass out. My first child was born at 28 weeks because of the anemia. I now have fybromyalgia and am in constant excruciating pain. I take all of the right vitamins and protein. I constantly struggle with my weight just like before WLS. I did not gain all of the lost weight back. I yo yo with 30 extra pounds constantly. I would trade my big fat body with this sick one any day. It is like living a nightmare. They should not be performing surgeries that cause malabsorbtion it is too dangerous. I will never trust a doctor again. I was so lied to it is un forgivable. Had I been told the truth I would have never had this surgery.
