Does anyone regret having surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am struggling something fierce and I seriously regret having surgery.

I will honestly say I don't regret it for a single second! The beginning was rough but it got better as each day went by. I am down 35 pounds and I feel amazing!

Not at all. I had moments early on wondering "what did I do", but I barely remember that time. With 65 pounds gone and so much energy, I'm really glad I did it.

I had some regret the first few days after surgery. Now, it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Absolutely! As in not having it performed a few years earlier.

I only regretted it in the very beginning when i was on broth and my family was having steak..and it was more of a pout than a true regret...I missed chewing...but now nearly 3 months out and down 52 pounds I honestly wonder why on earth I didn't do this sooner.

I definitely had the regretful feeling the first week but I think it was more from the hormonal change causing me to become an emotional wreck. Especially because I was in fear I was not getting enough Protein and Water. Slowly that had changed I'm on week 3 post op now and doing better. Have faith ♡

Nope.

Pre-op diet was hard and frustrating. Had trouble getting fluids and Protein in to start with, but every day it got better. My weight loss has slowed down, but it's still progressing. I'm already seeing awesome improvement in my health with 55# gone. I know it will just keep getting better.

I occasionally want to eat more than I physically can, and think "why did I do this" but then it's over especially when I look at the health benefits.

Like many others, I just wish I'd done it sooner.

It gets much, much better. Hang in there! No regrets and I am over 3 years out.

Its normal to have buyers remorse/regret when you are in the first stages after surgery. This is hard and it takes work. You will progress to new stages. It will become easier and be a new normal for you.

Think back to all the reasons of why you had your surgery. Your weigh loss and health is worth it all. Celebrate your 50 pounds gone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
