Has anyone, besides me, REGRETTED having this surgery?

I am 15 days post op and down 33 lbs. I am depressed and many times regret having this surgery. I spent 9 months researching and persuing it, in addition to having to fight with insurance. Now here I am, post op, and I REGRET having it. Why? Because the pain is almost unbearable. I am tired of hurting! I can't sleep on my side or my tummy, I am sleepy all the time, I often feel nauseous, it hurts to get out of a chair, my lower incision is draining excessively, I crave the foods I can no longer have, it hurts to walk.......I am just miserable. Though I am thrilled about my weight loss success, I am scared to death that I have made a horrible decision in having this surgery. I want to know when the pain is going to subside. Maybe then I won't feel like it's so hopeless and I'm going to go on hurting forever. I don't know what's wrong with me. What am I doing differently than everyone else who insists that they'd do this all over again in a single heartbeat!? Anyone out there who can HELP ME? I need some reassurance! : ( Signed, Heather from Florida.
