Nope! 200+ lbs down and I could not be happier. I had an easy recovery and never had even a second of "buyer's remorse."

None. I couldn't be happier with my surgery experience, recovery, and progress so far.

It was my first surgery ever so I had no idea what to expect. The worst part of the whole experience was the pre-op uncertainty.

My advice? Do everything you are asked to do by your team (pre- and post-op) even if you think you can't or think it is silly. Everything you are asked to do is for your benefit and to minimize risks and complications.

Zero complications.

Very smooth process.

Would do it all over again without hesitation.

Weight loss has been steady and I'm grateful for it.

Nine months out and no complications. It's not easy, but the many advances you feel, both in weight loss and in life, make the difficulty worth it. You'll develop a new relationship with food and with yourself that takes some getting used to, but you get there. All in all, totally worth it and my only regret is that I did not do this sooner.

No complications but I slept almost the entire time in the hospital. I didn't get out of bed to walk until day 2. I was really sensitive to the anesthesia.

I have No regrets! I hit the 150s yesterday!! 56 lbs gone and I couldn't be happier

I'm 3.5 years out and my only "side-effect" is that I can't eat carrots. YAY!

i had no problems with my sleeve surgery

pre & post op

gas

walking

drinking

eating

to name a few

no problems :rolleyes:

there are always "possible" complications with any surgery :(

we are all "living" proof that surgery, outcome is great

some people are on the fence about having WLS

my advice is GO Forward with surgery

don't ever look back!!!

never look back!!!!

good luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
