keep having feelings of regrets

[MaddieJ 82]

I am feeling a lil better still having breakouts & still needing naps but hanging in there also the sex drive is still low but trying things 2 help that out most of all I'm just happy & thankful I didn't have leaks and complications like some others

Glad you're getting better not worse!

Well like some have said this surgery is not new, just new as a stand alone or weight loss surgery. My husbands grandmother had the surgery in 1960 at the age of 60! She had the surgery because she had stomach cancer.

She was heavy when she died however because in those days they wanted you to eat to keep up your strength. So she opened a lunch counter where she served (and drank) goats milk milkshakes!! As for the surgery taking years off her life she died happy and pretty darn healthy at 93!

Buyers remorse after nearly three months of doing something or buying say a car you always ask self why. Well I'm nearly three years removed from my surgery and have lost 180 pounds and love life. Did it suck the first few months hell yeah it did I couldn't have a beer or pizza. Two things I never had since. Not to belittle feelings but remember you wanted to surprise someone and went to buy a new big screen tv and stand. When you got home you were so pissed at how hard it was to put together and wire all the wires correctly. BUT when done and while you were sitting there on couch one by one your family walked in saying wow this is awesome you admit all the hardships involved were gone and a sense of pride filled your head. Relate this to your surgery and think how great YOU will feel and then hearing all the praise from everyone else it's worth it. Toughen up its going to get better. Remember it took up 20 to 40 years to become obese what's another 2 to become "normal"
