need advice

I am currently in the process of getting sleeve done and I would like to know if anybody had any regrets and what was the worst part of it???

As is said over and over, only regret that I didn't do this sooner.

No regrets!! I am so happy I find myself smiling all the time. I feel great and have lots of energy.

Wish I'd done it years ago! I had a worse time with my tonsillectomy. Hands down.

No regrets at all! The first week post op was difficult and tough to get through. Even with that 1st week I would never change it!

No regrets at all! Deciding to get this surgery ranks up there with the best decisions I've made in my life!

No regrets whatsoever for me!!! And nothing for me was really the "worse part." I could have been released the day after surgery, but my program called for 2 nights hospital stay. If there was a "worse part" it would have been in the first 10 hours or so after surgery when rolling over and sitting up was uncomfortable. But all the walking I did after surgery really helped me with that.

Everybody is different. My first week was a snap and it has been ever since. I've been really lucky! Maybe you will be too.

Here's the best advice I can give...

Be prepared for stalls in weight loss. They will happen soon and more times than you'd hope. Celebrate the little victories of a pound here and a pound there. You're not on the game show The Biggest Loser and your weight isn't going to melt off. Don't let the scale rule your life. I weigh in once a week, but I know some people who only weigh in at their monthly or quarterly doctor's checkup. Judge your weight loss by how loose your clothes get, how slim your face looks, and how much energy you have once you've hit your sleeve weight-loss stride.

Good luck and take care.

I don't regret the surgery. I was very well prepared for the physical changes and challenges and it fell within my expectations. The emotional toll this has taken totally blindsided me though - I wish I had understood how intensely drastic physical changes can upset your sense of well-being and safety, even when those changes are so clearly positive.
