regrets

is there anyone here who actually regrets having had the surgery.

 

Thanks,

No regrets here. I went from 391 lbs day of WLS and I'm at 210 lbs today. I can do most anything I want to now. 2 Years ago I could not even walk to the mail box, now I walk the malls and everywhere. I don't take all the meds I took 2 years ago and I can even get down on the floor and play with my grandbabies. The ONLY regret I have today is I didn't have WLS sooner. Karen

Like Karen, my only regret is not having WLS sooner. I've gone from a size 26-28 and taking 8 prescriptions to a size 8-10 and 1 prescription other than my vitamins. Of that one prescription I still take, my dose is now 1/4 what it was before. I'm lovin' life!!!!!!!

I am 2 weeks and 1 day post-op--down 18 pounds since the day of my surgery--and I can honestly say I have no regrets!  I never even had the "what have I done" thoughts....I KNEW what I was doing and why I was doing it....I want to be healthier! Rhonda

no regrets.  And I have now had a total of 5 hospital stays since Oct 06.  Only one was elective... my plastic surgery.  All related to gastric bypass.  I had only had one hospital stay in 1999 for kidney stones prior to wls but no, no regrets.  I feel sick sometimes now due to no gallbladder and I wish I had not had to have it removed... but when I look in the mirror and see a skinny person looking back at me, I do not ever think "gee I wonder... shoudl I have had the gastric?"  One thing I do say on this side of the plastic surgery is this:  If a person really knew all that they had to do to get unfat, they might not have allowed themselves to get that way in the first place.  That's what I regret - letting myself get that way in the 1st place.
