NOT ONE REGRET!! I'm 4 weeks out and since I started my two week pre surgery diet I'm down 40 pounds. I'm starting to get a LOT of compliments and I'm still fat but it sure makes me FEEL GOOD!!!! LOL

BEFORE surgery you feel like you are on an EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER!! It is WORTH IT!!! I WAS SO EXCITED to have this surgery ....I needed the TOOL to help me lose, to get health!!!

When I got back to my room after surgery the FIRST thing I asked my Mom and Husband was...."DO I LOOK THINNER YET?" My Mom said OH SHE IS JUST FINE!!! LOL

GOOD LUCK and one day you will be writing NO REGRETS TOO!!!!

I am seriously considering the gastric sleeve procedure. Does anyone here regret having the surgery? Why? Thank you

I too have made the decision. I am not going to look back. The date of my surgery is March 15. I am excited and at peace with this decision.

The odds were against me without having surgery. Now, I still have to do the work but I stacked the odds in my favor. Now, it's not a matter of will I lose all the weight and keep it off.... it's just a matter of when. :)

About 3 month out now and no regrets so far. The only thing I might regret is not being able to treat my body right from the start, if I had stuck to a sensible diet 20 years ago and managed to find the joy in exercise back then I wouldn't have have had to have the surgery. After 20 years of yo-yo dieting and feeling miserable about myself I realised I needed a psysical tool to help me keep the weight off, hence the sleeve!

Anyone needs to find his/her own decision about having surgery, it's not one to take easy. Once it's taken it is for life. For me it feels like the start of a great life ahead!

Best wishes and good luck in making your decision.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
