Has Anyone Ever Regretted Having Surgery? Be Honest?

[Karen2012 36]

Im in a total b***h mode because I can't eat what I like :/ Im 9 days post-op and iv been on liquids. Everyone eats yumny food around me and i cant have at least one bit. Its frustrating. Ughhhhhhh i feel like crying.

It gets better!!! You will be able to eat much more kinds of food before you know it! I had my sleeve 4-24-12 and I don't regret it at all. Down 75 pounds!

Don't regret a thing. I'm just now able to eat solid food myself. When everyone else in the house was eating I would use that as my time to go for a walk and get some exercise, or come here and check out the forums. It helped take my mind off things. Try to remove yourself from the area and you should be ok.

Hang in there!

[Karen2012 36]

Wow so you lost 75 in about 2 months??? That is great.

OH my goodness! That is so wonderful and crazy! I think I may have posted this before on something else but It really is unbelievable. I will never make that.

At my two week follow up the dietician talked about everyone getting buyer's remorse at sometime or the other... But just remember the end reward and take a few deep breaths... You will be ok!

I totally regretted it the first two weeks. I cried every day. I was miserable. Now? I'm rocking this sleeve! I'm down 80 pounds as of this morning and I look HAWT! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I had the sleeve 6+ months ago. Best thing I've ever done for myself. No regret, no way

Before WLS I couldn't walk any long distance, forget about stairs huff and puff all red - you know what i mean

Shortly after WLS I no longer have diabetes or high blood pressure

good luck

Sometimes I have felt frustrated when I can't eat, but it passes really soon. I am so glad that I can't eat a lot because to be honest, I don't need to eat as much as before to live. Eating less is where I want to be. I would have this surgery in a heart beat. I also focus on this is it, I will never qualify for another wls, so I will be happy. Oh the day of the surgery I thought, "what the hell did I do to myself?" Then quickly reminded myself that it's done and now I'm going to embrace a new chosen life style! Yep I have lost 77 lbs and am totally loving my new size. I love my skinniness. You will be there soon, I promise, your enjoy your bites of food, and be thankful for your sleeve because after all, you are one sexy person!

Honestly - yes, there are fleeting moments when I regret this like when my husband BBQs and the smell is awesome but I can't have any. Times when I'm tired of working on my Protein intake or getting in enough Water. Times when I'm just plan exhausted. Again, those regrets are fleeting - they come quickly and they leave quickly. I know that without this surgery I would not be sitting here 21lbs down since my surgery on June 4th. I think it's human to have moments of regret or feeling sorry for ourselves until we make our way into our new habits.

I had buyers remorse but I feel so much better and am off diabetes and htn meds. It is worth it. I wish I had done this sooner. A couple of friends warned me about buyers remorse. Good luck it takes awhile but it gets better! Much, much better!

I have no regrets, but I sometimes wish I had my full tummy for just 1 day when something taste so good and I want more. your so early out, ask yourself this same question at 9 months. i bet it will be the same as my answer.

[Dooter 1,457]

Momentary, light affliction. Totally worth it. It gets better every day!

My hair has not grown back yet. My skin is yucky yuck. I am a little over a year. But neither of those things make me cry like being a fatty did.

I regretted it the first week post op... by 3 week it was (and now 6 months later still is) the best thing I've ever done.

only regret is not doing it sooner.
