How bad was it? Would you do it again?

Yes would do it again!!! A lifetime of good health, and new adventures is sooooooo much more to me than the couple days of pain. No regrets here!!

I'd definitely do it again. Whatever pain/discomfort I had is so far in the rear view I barely remember it.

I'm another one, no pain......some soreness....I took two doses of painkiller at night at the hospital, because they were strongly encouraged LOL I have not taken the pain meds they sent me home with. I was walking in the recovery room......still bleary eyed from the anesthesia, didn't care....had 2 nurses on either side as I wabbled around recovery a few times while waiting for a hospital room.

I'm 4 weeks out, lost 20 pounds.....I have taken a single tylenol for a headache (I lived on alleve or advil pre-op for knees and headaches)......I can move around much better, have energy to burn.

The one thing I am working on is nausea.....had a week where nausea was 27/7....I think we figured the Prilosec was the culprit......will have my 1 month post op tomorrow and see where we are going with it......they want me back on full liquids.....and I would still do it again in a heart beat....good luck.

Yup, would crawl over broken glass to get to my surgery if I had to do it again. It was a bit like childbirth, painful at the time but the memory fades as the joy takes over, lol! Had one weepy day as hormones were all over the place and buyers remorse kicked in. But not regretted it one bit since. My health has improved significantly and I couldn't have done that without the help of my sleeve. Good luck!

I would do it once a year if I had to.I didnt take any pain meds at all except while in surgery.

Even when I thought I would change my mind as I was getting on the OR table. I would do it again in a heart beat. Have gotten rid of 4 pills so far and hope to get rid of 3 more this month. Down 82 lbs since may. People at work have had to look twice at me just this week. I hope to live longer for myself and my kids. Hell yes a million times!
