I do still everyday. I was self pay 25k+ 4 months out down only 35 lbs. So I do but I'm sure it's only coz I'm so slow when I'm at 145/155 sure it won't matter ;)

I regretted it when I was in pain...but I knew from reading this site that this was normal to feel this way immediate post op....loving it more and more as the pain goes away and the scale is already moving downward! Still on clear liquids...wish I was on regular food and healed...then I would probably say, no regrets!

A woman I work with had the bypass, and I don't see that she is any better off than me for having gotten it, since she is still very definitely obese. And I understand from folks that have shared an office with her that the flatulence is powerful!

I was on the fence about which to get. I was set on RNY at first since I had a lapband go so bad for me but my doctor really encouraged me to consider that most sleeve patients so just as well as RNY patients with FAR less risk of long term effects. ALSO our restriction is more permanent That is not to say that sleeve patients cannot eat around a sleeve but stretching a pouch and stretching a sleeve are two very different beasts.

so I got a sleeve Sept 6th 2012 and I am totally happy with it , my sister got the RNY August 20th 2012 , I can say that she took longer to recover (10 weeks) has had more issues than me with getting sick , weakness ect.... and we are loosing so far at the same pace ... I am 85 lbs down and she is 95 lbs down, I can eat more variety of food w/o any issues just in smaller quantities she cant eat allot of different food because of getting the dumping syndrome but she can eat more than me at one sitting ...

I think they both have their positives and negatives. study up and make the choice that fits you best...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
