If you use the search feature at the top of the screen, type in remorse, and select forums, then the magnifying glass, some threads should come up.

Here's one that I remember because there was a member who has remorse.....it's important to see the good, the bad, and the ugly (IMVHO)

Thanks Patty! I did just read them all, I feel very bad for the one lady that totally regrets it..I have been fat my whole life, Im done! Im 42 and really haven't started living, Id give my left arm to be able to bend over to paint my toe nails or better yet, not break out in a sweat while walking. Im just finished with this nonsense and allowing food to control my life. I wish I would have found out about this ten years ago! Tuesday is the big day for me, I am scared but excited as well! Im ready to start the next journey :)

I felt the same way - I was terrified! But now I am 9 weeks post op and love it:) No regrets. It was very hard for me for the first 4 weeks or so, but that was attributed to healing, getting tired of the liquids/purees and I had gallbladder surgery at 3 weeks post op. I got through it and now I'm on the other side. I started my pre-op on 5/15 at 244 lbs., surgery was 5/22 and I am now at 196! 48 pounds gone and I feel so much better!

I'm at 2 months out, and very happy with my decision. It was rough at first, but it gets better.

That, too, is totally normal. I cried when he lady came to do my IV, I cried in pre op, and I cried on the operating table just because I was scared to death. Everyone was so nice and understanding and encouraging. They understood how I felt.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
