My weight loss seems very slow compared to most people, but even if it is slowing down I have lost 3 dress sizes in one month, and it would have taken me much much longer without the assistance of the sleeve, and I would have eventually gained it all back plus some, which I hope won't happen this time around.

I certainly have no regrets.

Like everyone else said, my only regret is not getting the sleeve earlier. I'm 3 months out lost almost 50 pounds and feel real good. A day before and a few days after my surgery I was thinking I should not be doing this, but that is normal. I'm so glad I had the surgery and I'm sure you will too. Good luck

Not a single regret! Second best decision I ever made. (#1 was to have kids.)

No regrets!! I love my sleeve. The only regret I have is getting the lapband. I wish I would have just had just gotten the sleeve in the first place.

No regrets about the sleeve. I was a revision from the lapband - which is kin to a medieval torture device - so THAT I regret! The sleeve is amazing and I promise you won't regret it if you have it done.

Not one regret and I was a self pay in US. Okay I had one fleeting episode in front of a HomeStyle Buffet (of all places) crying over not being able to gorge. Wish I had cried over a good steak joint rather than the senior specials. :) You too will soon be here saying "no regrets". No more hungries all the time, no more stuffing myself only to still be hungry, no more hatred cycles. I love my sleeve!

Not for one single minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't crying going into the OR, I was like "let's get this going, I've been waiting so long to finally have something to HELP me lose the weight and keep it off!"

I love my sleeve!

6 months out, 100 lbs gone forever, finally into onderland which I haven't seen in YEARS. Regrets? That I wasted so many years in an unhealthy body. But no looking back - this summer I am going on a river trip, then this fall to ride in a hot air balloon in Sodona, on to the Grand Canyon and then up to Colorado for a zip line adventure - couldn't have even dreamed of doing these things 6 months ago!

      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.
