I am so excited for you Jill!  Sending you a hug and prayers!

 I have no regrets 

I had the Duodenal Switch (DS) surgery 4.5 years ago, lost 200 pounds, reaching my goal weight  in a year and mainttaining the loss ever since.

I eat what I want, when I want and the weight stays off.  Every day I am amazed at how the DS has cured my pre-surgery  medical issues and allows me to live such a normal life without "diet" worries.

I love my DS

If you sincerely want to talk with people who have regrets---and I really think everyone considering WLS should---you should check out these forums:

I'm 8.5 years post-op from the DS, and I'm VERY pleased with my decision. I live a wonderfully 'normal' life now.

i dont really know i think i regret it only because if the complications ive experienced but then i dont regret it because i  needed it sooooooo much

 No regrets at all despite a post op complication and having to go on short-term disability through job/insurance...I would do it all over again...

For me, though, no regrets whatsoever.   I love my DS
