BarrySue 602 Posted April 10, 2016 No regrets. Not when the pain meds didn't work, not when I had to suffer the humiliation of being so large that the fire department had to come pick me up off the floor after a fall 3 days post-op because I was too heavy for my mother to lift, not when I had to stand to suffer through awkward social situations when I couldn't eat at conventions and functions, not when I was hospitalized for complications, not even today, when I hit 140 lbs lost and am STILL obese. Oh, there were plenty of times I shook my fist at the sky, hated how I felt, whined, stomped my feet, cried, etc. But I've never regretted it, not for a single second. No matter how I did mental gymnastics trying to justify not getting the sleeve, it was surgery or die, and that's that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianGuy 350 Posted April 10, 2016 I had regrets the very first week when it was painful to move and everything tasted disgusting but I still had to eat. But after that, every regret went away: no more eating 4 plates to be full, no 24/7 hunger anymore, and also the amazing results I was getting! It's a bad moment to go through but most of the people on the forum look rather pleased by their surgery when they look back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
