Still thinking

[tealdog1982 1]

Hello I was wondering if anyone here regrets their surgery? I am still pondering whether or not to get it. I have to switch insurance first anyway. What was the process like? Do you feel happy with your decision?

I was sleeved on 8/8 and I have zero regrets. It is a journey and a tool for life...

Take your time in making the decision and I think it is helpful to start making changes with eating habits now if you plan on having surgery in a few months. I hope you find support here on BP and there are a ton of vsg videos on YouTube that are really helpful. Good luck to you with whatever you decide!

I am a week post op and it was tough. I dont regret it per say but sometimes feel like it is just not going to work for me. I guess it is fear.

It took me a year to make the decision..I went through the process, read, researched and got approved,,then I chickened out but my health continued to worsen and I finally realize I needed to do something drastic...this is it....got sleeved on the 24th, I'm scared it isn't going to work but much of what I feel, I've heard others say so that's comforting...I'm craving chocolate like mad..sticking to chocolate yogurt but even that had to much sugar so not to much. I worry about this. Still I don't regret...I believe I did the right thing and I lost 18 pounds in the pre op diet so that gave me hope. All in all I'm happy with my status and glad I did it

No regrets at all. Sleeved 8/31/16.

HW 310

SW 278.4

CW 234.4

Down a total of 75.6 pounds since I started this joust (44 post op 2- months). I have energy, my joints don't hurt any more, my BP is down, I don't huff and puff when I walk, I sleep better, I CAN PLAY WITH MY GRAND BABIES, and I'm not hungry. My only gripe is Constipation -but that is it.

I'm just beginning my journey. My only regret is I wish I had done it sooner.

Good luck to you on your decision!

I am 11 weeks out and I do regret it . I am still not feeling well and that seems abnormal. I still currently hate all food and drinking even grosses me out. It is hard for me to eat and even the smells of food is very hard to take. Watching my family eat is pretty hard and gross to me. I have no energy . Tired a lot- but I eat so little that isn't surprising . I am praying this changes. I have lost a lot of weight but now I just feel like a sick person instead of a fat person. I would rather feel like a fat person. Again- I am still praying this passes .

There was a recent thread in this you should look for with lots of responses. Most have no regrets but there are definitely some out there that would not do it again and they explain why which is important to hear. I personally am thrilled with my decision
