Im having a moment of regret



Recommended Posts

Hi! I just had surgery too, I'll be 4 weeks out on Monday. It still gets emotionally difficult for me as well. I get frustrated and question whether I made a good decision. Just know that ur not alone in that and it's not a crazy thought. It's good that u came on here and vented it. It's important to be honest about it, even if others don't get it or say its never happened to them. Ur post is about u and ur feelings. Keep takin it one day at a time. Good luck to you

Im about 2 1/2 mths out and I so have had those moments where I have thought to myself Why did I do this!! But I got to say it has been good lately and I promise you when your stomach heals a little more believe me you will feel so much better!! I was on a liquid diet 6 wks after surgery and I thought I was going to go crazy!!! All the holidays and food and I had so many mixed feeling and emotions!! It's ok to vent and even sometimes break down I cant lie I've even cried a little bit!! But Im telling you it will get BETTER!!! GOOD LUCK!!!! GIRLY!!!

I just had a break down ..it's so hard some days ..my husband feels helpless but I educated him from the beginning so he would kno what to expect and I told to never let me give up no matter if I say I regret it cause I kno things will get better

You are so right, it does get better. It gets better a tiny bit at a time until somewhere down the road you wake up and realize that you are doing this and that you feel good again. Hang in there.

      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.
