Question:
Has anyone here personally regretted ever having WLS? If so, why?

I like you was looking for someone who regretted having this done. I found only one man! He sounded like he would have been unhappy with any outcome. As for myself I have moments where I would like to be able to eat like I used to, BUT, it is only momemtary! Too many great reasons to even think abouts regrets!!

Even in the miserable first few post-op weeks, I NEVER asked myself "What have I done?" or regretted this decision in any way. I feel freed!

On the night I had surgery a very obese nurst was getting be out of bed for my first walk.I was Open RNY , she asked me if knowing how bad the pain was would I do it again , I said absolutly , the pain will go away and I will get better each day.(the people here who I've come to trust and rely on are proof of that, and I have always kept that with me.)Somehow when she put me back in bed she forgot to hook up my morphine pump and nurse call button !! When the next shift found me screaming in pain . the gave me a great big shot of morphine and I was able to get some peace. Even with no pain meds I'd do it.I feel great and I look great and nothing , no binge , candy or pastry can ever make me feel like I do now!
