Anyone Regret WLS?

I am scheduled for the sleeve next month, and am nervous/scared/anxious, as this is the first time I am doing something for ME.  I wonder if anyone would be willing to post any regrets they may have after their procedure.  (Other than not doing it sooner, of course!) Things that you wish you would have known beforehand, or wish you would have asked.....  Anything at all would be very helpful to me!  Thanks in advance!

Nope! No regrets.

Not one single thing I regret. Not even a tiny bit.

Not one. Not for a minute. Not for a second. I was scared too. I wish I could have known what I know now.  I would have danced into the OR with a smile so big I'd have looked like the joker. 

 to your comment!...love it!!

Best wishes with your upcoming surgery. No regrets 8 years, zero complications, maintaining my weight loss... I will say I was not fully prepared for the emotional journey... the healthy eating, the moving the body but all the emotions that come with such a dramatic life change... from body image, to excess skin, to relationship changes, to coming to terms with the "stuff" that I could no longer blame on the weight. Yep I knew about it, heard about it, read about it but very different going through it and working through it. So I'd just say this... do not neglect that piece of the puzzle. 

The healthy eating, the moving the body and the head.

All the best,

Michelle "Shelly"

 

Having my DS is probably to best thing I've ever done for myself.

No regrets and my research prepared me for the journey. Follow your plan and it will work.

VSG at  12/3/2012  3 pm monday, at 1 am,  what the hell did I do? Couple days later,  I did the right thing, no regrets. down 140 lbs from 320. 1year 7mos out I still weight my food and still droping weight.

Thank you al so much for your success stories, and the lack of regret.  I think my biggest issue is that I've never done anything this major just for me. I've always supported everyone else, and it's out of my comfort zone to put myself first.  But you know what? After reading all of the conversations on this site, I think it's not a 'selfish' thing, it's a self-preservation thing.  I want to be the best version of me that I can be, for myself, my kids, my husband and any future grandchildren I may have.  I'm tired of being tired.  I'm tired of shopping in the Plus Sized section.  It's MY time now, and you know what?  I'm gonna seize this opportunity!!!! YAY ME!!!!
