Any Regrets?

[kellyodoran 12]

Like most people I wish I done this alot sooner...the last time I was still small was in Junior High...

This has been the best thing for me..I finally have restriction, pre surgery, it seemed like a bottomless pit...

I want to tell everyone who is struggling to have the surgery, its life changing...

No regrets...just happiness and most important I am healthy...no more fatty liver, high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid problems and high blood pressure at 35.

your little note just inspired me : )

None at all, except for the standard, "I wish I had done it sooner."

112 lbs lost in 9 months. It's a freakin' miracle!

Seasoned Bandsters

October is my month for the rest of my life.

Most everyone seems so positive about their decision and would do it again.

Anyone out there with regrets/ If yes, can you share why.

Thanks all for your inspiration.

I think my before & after - says it all...

Yes you are always going to find pple who wish they didn't do it - a lot of pple think it's the quick fix and when they find out it isn't they blame the band..

Only 6 weeks out from surgery...never have questioned my decision once. I did question the few Cookies I ate over the weekend , but I take ownership of that...it wasn't the band's fault! I can't wait for true restriction, but I knew this part of the journey was coming so I am dealing with it the best I can!

Thank you for this post! I am getting my surgery on Tuesday (9/7) and this has been so inspiring! :wub:

Like some of you said- some people will have regrets probably because they didn't work the band right- probably ate the same as they did pre-op that got them fat to begin with and didn't get anything positive from the band but most people are thrilled with the band. If you work it, it will work!

I think a lot has to do with your mental changes too... your mentality needs to change with the lifestyle, with the body, etc. I am mentally prepared- finally- it took a while! :wub: If I tried to do this 2 years ago, I don't think I would be successful but NOW I am emtionally and mentally prepared for what I need to do! Even though it would be nice to have been thin in my 20's... But thats okay- I recently turned 30 and its a new life/ new me baby! :thumbup:

Again, thanks for the post and thank you everyone for the information! :tt1: Best of everything to everyone!
