higher 966 Posted October 18, 2016 3 months out and I feel great. It's all been a good experience for me so far. Will I feel the same way in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years? Hard to tell. I hope so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's motivating to hear about other peoples experiences with WLS. It's a whole other thing to have your own experience with this.

GinaCampbell 434 Posted October 18, 2016 I am only 9 weeks out but I would not do it again as of right now. I feel horrible and can eat or drink very little. It makes me feel like a sick person- whereas before I just felt like a fat person. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I feel the same way. I regret it so much. Every day I regret it. I started 245 when I got surgery. I have other posts talking about regret. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Are you feeling no better? Prayers coming your way!

Heavymomma 3 Posted October 20, 2016 I am just over a year post sleeve and just hit the 100 lbs lost mark. Now I would honestly say I would do it all over again but six months ago I would have said no. It is a tough, long recovery and takes a lot if strength but stick it out and the end results are so worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectra13 25 Posted October 31, 2016 No I wouldn't do it again. Wish I never did it at all. I am 6.5 weeks out. Worse decision of my life. I read you want to lose 50 lbs. For 50 lbs? No way. Never. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I certainly would never have had surgery for a 50lb weightloss either. This was the worst decision of my life. I am coming up to six months out and still feel as you do. But you will come to accept it more. We have no choice. So I just concentrate on being at peace. What's done is done.
