Does anyone have any regrets?

 I wish I would have done it sooner TOO!  I tried everything and did lose weight but gained it back again every time.  Now I have lost over 77lbs and feeling GREAT!  I can eat anything I want "just smaller portions" and love it. 

I never told anyone.  NOT even my mother or father.  It's been almost 5 months out and no one knows.  I just hear "YOU LOOK GREAT" and WOW all the time.  Feels good to me and that is all that matters.  I will tell after I get to my goal and maybe put some before and after pics in a box and wrap it up for X-mas presents :-)

That is a great idea.  I haven't told a lot of my family members and will be seeing them for Christmas, i might just borrow your idea.   It's certainly gonna be the best Christmas present i've ever gotten.  I'm hoping to be very close to my goal by then.  Good job keep up the good work, Jeani

I have no regrets,  can't even regret not having surgery sooner as the sleeve wasn't approved by insurance before now.   The only regret i do have is letting my health get to the state it was in and Thank God i'm so much better already and still improving.   Jeani

A little over 5 months out here and I have ZERO regrets.

I am only a newbie to this... sleeved a week ago. I am amazed every day tha I have NO cravings... NONE! not to be controlled by wanting to eat all the time is such freedom. Now I just don't care about food. I eat (well, drink) to get teh nutrition that I need and I am much happier with that kind of a relationship with food. It was far too important to me before. Patti

nope no regrets at all!!! happy 100% with my decision....i am where i want to be.....happy for this surgery and Dr. Aceves, who is definitely the best doctor ever.

Not doing it sooner.

Truly, I have no regrets. The VSG has been amazing. I met my weight loss goal in 13 months and it was easy because I'm not hungry.

I can eat anything I like at this stage, I'm in maintenance. There are foods I choose to not eat like pasta, rice, potato and bread. I also do not tolerate burgers or sausage well. I don't miss the foods I stopped eating.  Limiting carbs gives me more energy and I rarely experience hunger.

I told everyone about the surgery, no regrets. Some people asked good questions others were dumb about WLS but all things considered I think I've helped people who have seen my success and metamorphoses due to the sleeve. Three friends are now in the pipeline for the sleeve.

I regret not having the VSG sooner. Life with the extra weight was limiting and now I feel set free.

Good luck,
George

Haven't had it done yet, scheduled for October 25th for the Vertical Sleeve, I tell everyone....I don't care what their opinion is...they haven't lived in my body and felt the pain and discomfort....Most people are excited for me...some don't understand why, if I can lose 30 pounds on the doctor observed diet, why can't I do it without the surgery.....and I explain that this is just one more tool in my arsenol to defeat the enemy (obesity).......The only opinion you need to worry about is your own and how positive this decision makes you feel. Wishing you a safe and positive journey to the new you!! Good Luck!!

 Much like others hear, i regret that I didn't do this sooner.  I have been fortunate so far to not have any complications so my opinion is a bit skewed:)  I would do it again knowing how things are turning out for me.  *Knock on wood... don't want to jinx myself.
