Anyone have regrets early post surgery?

I had a few days of anxiety. I remember feeling like I wrecked my body. I literally felt ruined, damaged. But I took myself out of the house and treated myself to some pampering at the salon and it made me feel a lot better. I'm 3 weeks post op now and my dermabond and scabs are starting to fall off and I'm seeing under them some tiny scars that look like they will probably be barely visible. It's getting better and better every day.

I had my surgery a week ago tomorrow and I can't keep from getting panic attacks. I am almost panicky because I am not allowed to eat and am afraid I will never be able to go out again and eat at all! I am wondering what I did to myself! Were any of you scared when you weren't allowed to eat anything?

So glad you posted this. I got banded on the 18th and have had similar thoughts. I said the same thing to my nurse the day after surgery but we are going to be fine. I have a close friend who lost 85 lbs with the band. She got it a year ago. She is my main support. We can do this and we will be able to eat in moderation again. I have terrible gas pain right now but keep thinking positive. We are strong and will get through this with God's help! I don't want to offend you, but without God, I would be a constant mess.

So glad you posted this and remember you are not alone in this feeling!!

Love my friends on here. Again, I feel the same way! We are surgery day buddies....I got my band 3/18. So glad I am not alone in having these feelings. I felt like a terrible mother/wife today. It will get better.
