Regret?

Oh and hope this helps your research: http://www.obesityaction.org/educational-resources/brochures -and-guides/understanding-your-weight-loss-options-brochure/ weight-loss-surgery-morbid-obesity a little bit about the procedures currently approved.

No regrets- only 5 months out. I've already lost 87 lbs and feel confident I will maintain that loss as long as I am fully committed to my health. I already feel so much better than I have in years. If you're considering VSG and have any acid reflux at all be sure to mention that to your center - good luck with your journey.

I have no regrets, except, like others have said, not doing it sooner.

That's now, at 5 months out. After I woke up from surgery I felt like I wa**** by a truck and my first thought was, "OMG, what have I done to myself?".

During my first walk after surgery, in the hospital, I stopped a nurse and asked her to wheel me over to the psych ward because I was sure I wasn't in my right mind for having done this to myself and thought I needed psychological help. I was dead serious but she thought I was joking and just laughed and helped me back to bed.

Then, several hours later, I noticed that for the first time in my life, I wasn't obsessing over what I could eat next. I had NO appetite at all, and had to force myself to sip on water and the soup broth they gave me that first day.

The next day I was still in pain but was still amazed that I had no appetite, no food obsessions, nothing.

Once I was discharged from the hospital and able to sleep I started feeling a bit better. I still had pain (which is not normal; most people don't have pain like I did, so don't worry), but it got a little better every day.

Now I'm thrilled with my decision and wish I would have done it 20 or 30 years sooner. I spent so long trying to lose the weight on my own and just kept losing and regaining everything I lost, plus more, for so long. I felt so hopeless about my weight pre op. I'm down almost 90 Lbs and walk, ride my bike, or swim almost every day. I am no longer depressed or anxious and no longer need to shop in plus sized stores. It feels great to go into ANY store and find clothes that fit. I still have a long way to go, but I am thrilled with this journey, bumps and all.

I can totally relate to your story, i am so happy with the results that i am getting. I haven't felt this good or been at this weight in the last 25 years.i can't wait to see what else life has in store for me.

nope. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and I'd go back and have it done every year if I had to. Best decision I ever made.

I had the sleeve done and no regrets.

The only regret I have is not getting my act together to have it sooner. I had the lap band first as well and I do regret that.

Not even one.
