I am sure there may be one or two out there. But I think you will find the majority of people who have had the surgery do not regret it and would do it all over again if they had to. I also would like to know if the is anyone who regret it. Think we may have a wait. Really dont think there are many. Avis Gandy

Like so many, my regret is that I didn't do it 20 years sooner! I was 44 when I had surgery, and spent all those years, miserable! And, in fact, I DID do it again. Having had an older model of surgery, my staple line disrupted and I had a revision earlier this year. It's been 6 years (since my original) and I'm healthier than I ever was pre-op. My husband was heavy only for about 7 years, but even so he'd do it again, too. He's 5 yrs post-op.
