I DEFINITELY regret having this done! I know how u all feel and I wish we had better outcomes!! My doctors now after I'm a little healthier are considering reversing it!

Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?
maddy78 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
NO!!!! my surgery was may 1st two months ago today and unfortunately I've had nothing but problems. Throwing up, dizziness and horrible stomach pain. My doctors are actually talking about reversing it! I've been in the hospital since may 1st and just came home Friday with a home nurse, I have a picc line that feeds me vitamins and protein 24hrs, guess my protein is to low and before reversing I have to have good protein levels or I won't heal. So Yes I regret having it done and I'm sooooo jealous of Anyone that hasn't had complications, so to all of you good luck on your weight loss journey! -
19 days out and in hell!! Ended up having a second surgery to remove scar tissue, have been admitted twice back to the hospital for throwing up, and I've only lost ten pounds. I'm nauseous and dry heve if I eat anything, I'm still in pain and wishing I never did this. Tell me it gets better???

I also started my Period, on second day after surgery, I'm blaming it on me being so emotional lol -
Tomorrow is my surgery I'm having the Lapland removed and gb done, I'm nervous but excited to finally get this Lapland out, but still having doubt, if the Lapland didn't work am I going to fail AGAIN with the gastric? Ugh sometimes my mind is my worst enemy!!! And am I suppose to do the bowel prep? My doc never told me but it says to do it in the booklet I got. I just feel so unprepared, like how many days will I be in the hospital, and did I freeze enough food for the kids for dinner, and did I here enough clothes washed and so on. Must just be my nerves! Anyone else feeling this way?

maddy78 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is this Monday the 22nd I'm going from lap band to gastric bypass, when I had to do my liquid diet before the lap band I did awesome but this time the last three days I broke down and ate! Anyone else having trouble sticking to the diet? now I'm worried my liver hasn't shrunk enough before monday? Feeling like a failure!! :/ -

I've had the band for three years and it's been nothing but problems, Instead losing weight I've gained 60 pounds!!! Can't wait to get it out, but I'm nervous I won't loose weight with the bypass and it will be like having the band all over again! Ugh! And I'm pretty sure pms is making me cheat on my diet lol I'm craving food sooooooo bad!!! -

I'm scheduled for Wednesday and have a sinus infection been on antibiotics since Sunday, I'm also waiting to hear if my surgery will be rescheduled and I'm getting frustrated, I don't wanna hear it's postponed and doing the liquid diet for nothing plus starting the diet all over is really going to suck!!
