Please help me, I have terrible regret RNY

So perhaps I misunderstood, but you have not had any complications correct? It sounds as if you are waiting for the ball to drop, for something to go horribly wrong? Have you thought to yourself that maybe, just maybe, you made the right decision? As someone that suffers from anxiety, I feel like I have been in your shoes and I know how debilitating it can be. Time will only prove what you might already know, but are too scared to admit. Maybe the bypass will be the best gift you could have ever given yourself. Six months down the road, when you are healthy and feeling better, I look forward to an update.

I will be honest with you guys. I still regret my surgery and I know I will for the rest of my life.

I have empathy for your regret and I hope you find a therapist/psychologist/social worker who specializes in weight related issues to talk to. But neither of us knows how you will feel for the rest of your life! Forgive yourself and move forward. (hugs)

Ruth, what you are feeling is completely normal. I felt the same way. I thought the rest of my life would be miserable. The first few weeks I regretted it horribly. Almost 2 years out I feel like a new person. I'm down 120 pounds, a size 12 from a 26. I'm off of close to 10 medications. The last time I saw my primary care physician he stated I was cured. I wish I would have done it years ago. I enjoy life so much more. Things will get better.
