Regrets?

[BarrySue 602]

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.

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.
