What do YOU regret from WLS

I really don't have many regrets. This has done so many wonderful things for me, but I do have one that hurts. My regret of this surgery (and perhaps it's really a blessing in disguise) is that I lost my best friend in the deal. She couldn't handle the fact that I physically changed. She actually flew down with me to be there for me during my surgery, but in less than 1 years time, she just shut me down. So, what do you regret - or - do you?

At the risk of being labelled a Polyanish Cheerleader... Nothing. Tek

Tek, I don't know you very well, but something makes me suspect that few people would be tempted to label you a Pollyanish Cheerleader!!! I suspect your comment was tongue-in-cheek. I do appreciate your posts very much, by the way. Whether I agree with you on every point or not, your beliefs and practices regarding WLS seem to be consistently based on well-thought-out arguments and research. I respect that. ---- Leslie

Thanks for the kind words. I'll have you completely over to the Dark Side in no time, just another conquest in my WDP (World Domination Plan) Tek

Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight? NARF!

Tek, How typical of you to be the Pollyanna of AMOS! (OK, Probably the only opportunity EVER, To reply with that, So I had to go for it!) Best Wishes- Dx

gee Tek, Pollyanna was just the term I was looking for to describe you!!!!

Tek--I am sitting here giggling at you being the Pollyanna of wls. These responses are really funny. BTW-I enjoy your posts a lot also.

HEY! I resemble that remark....

Well, I would say that I regret not having it sooner, but that's not really true. It was the right time for me. I had to know that I had tried everything else first to have peace of mind about the decision. I do regret not taking better advantage of my early months of rapid loss (the old-timers warned me, but I didn't listen). I think I could have knocked off another 20-30 lbs during that time if I had really been pushing the exercise, but I really took it for granted that I was losing without really trying and kinda coasted for awhile. Now it's a LOT harder to take those last 20-30 lbs off! ---- Leslie
