anyone regret having WLS?

I cancelled my surgery for vsg scheduled jan.23rd.2014. My friend had her vsg surgery on dec 27 th 2013. She was doing ok the first two weeks. This past Sunday she ended up back in the hospital in severe pain. She ended up very very sick. She is on life support. The surgeon went back in and found she was bleeding everywhere. They told her family to say goodbye. She is still on life support. They had to revive her three times and had no pulse for ten min. I know it is very rare to have such severe complications, but it can happen. She is young and healthy. Has a family and just wanted to try and lose weight. God bless you whatever you may decide.

I don't understand why her doc didn't do post op CBC. Mine has twice to check blood for infection and new bleeding

I say do what works for you, weigh your pros and cons and come to terms with what you need to do:)

Good luck in whatever you decide:)

Sadly my friend passed away 28 days after her Vsg. She never got off life support and was declared brain dead. She was 46 years old.

Sorry to hear of this, sending prayers to you and her loved ones....very sad indeed.
