Ok! So Mr. Regret has finally paid me a visit. Post surgery recovery has been ok. 1 week now since my surgery and if I could do it over... I would decline.

food was such a part of my life. I miss dinner with my family and feeling like a freak. I feel heart burn even after drinking Water. Finally had sex with my husband and it really doesn't feel the same. Quite awkward and a little painful. We actually had to stop and think about birth control!

I know I will get past this stage but as an Executive in the business world I feel like I should have been able to beat this thing they call obesity!

Obesity is hard to beat especially because like you said, food is a huge part of some people's lives. When my mother got the surgery she was miserable and had many regrets but after 1 or 2 months she said she'd never go back. Once you start seeing all the benefits you'll realize it was worth it. My mother was so upset because when we went to resteraunts or buffets we'd eat like monsters and she could only nibble. Little did she know we were jealous because we wish we could control our eating and be losing weight lol

@@anitavee, I am starting to second guess my decision also. I am scheduled for surgery on the 25th and I'm struggling with the pre op diet. I was also just diagnosed with PCOS, so I'm started to wonder if I may lose a lot of weight just by treating the PCOS and hormone imbalance. I've been asking myself, "do you really need to do it THIS way?", "can't you just try a little harder?". I have no energy with this liquid diet and I'm a bit nauseous. Also, I'm so scared that since this surgery is irreversible that I may be making the biggest mistake of my life! Aaagghhh! I'm torn...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
