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!

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
