Any Sleeve surgery regrets??
Couldn't have said it better myself, Alison! I am thrilled with my new and improved life, so no regrets about the surgery. In so far as I did get to the point with my weight and all of the resulting health problems, I definitely love my sleeve! I just wish I had been able to keep from getting to where I needed to take such a step. Soooo glad VSG was available and covered by my insurance when I did need it, as I did not want RNY, though.

I had regrets the day and day after surgery. I however had a bit of pain and I'm a whiney brat when I'm in pain. Once I was home and found an Isopure that would go down I was fine.
I have no regrets now about having surgery. It's been two months and I've lost 50 lbs. I could have never done this w/ out this tool.
Use your nervous energy cleaning this weekend. Or read a book. Or go out and do something. Good luck!!!

NOPE! NADA! NIP! ZERO!!!
Do I wish I would of done it sooner- yes- but I wasn't mentally ready for it- it happened at the right time in my life.
I would do it again a million times.
Everyone has buyers remorse after surgery BC you feel bad- I cried in the hospital hallway the first night- had my pity party and moved on- I think it's common.
I wouldn't trade anything for being 103 lbs lighter!

lol I regret acting like a baby after the surgery...I should have been a lot nicer to everyone. I regret living in denial about what I ate and how big I really was. I regret wasting my life being this big. I don't really think those are sleeve regrets. I really wish I could have had the surgery earlier...but I wouldn't have been ready.
The first week I regretted it then I got excited and the recovery was super easy.
I do regret not getting on plan and following the rules after my 3rd month out when I hit the skids. I tried to play with the boundaries and hurt myself as far as progress. Eat the right foods, don't drink while you eat, exercise as soon as possible and watch the carbs. Had I always done that, I'd be at goal. So I do regret not having my head in it like I should have.
