Anyone regret surgery?

 Not at all. 

Granted, I wasn't healthy or capable of being active active and was super morbidly obese (high 60's), so I feel like I've gotten my life and freedom back.

I am only 2 weeks out of surgery but I am so glad that I had it done. Small daily changes and my new outlook on life is making it all worth while. I DO NOT regret my decision and my family seems very happy with it too!

Thanks everyone for all your great advice and information.  I'm so encouraged that no one has regretted their decision to have WLS.  I have decided to continue on this journey and at anytime I feel that this might not be for me I will simply back out. 

I guess it's good that the wait times are so long.....gives me a lot of time to think about it.

9 months out and going strong.

Absolutely no regrets and I'd do it again.

Just know that as you continue this process you will have doubts again and again.  We all do.  It's the thoughts of "maybe I try to lose the weight on my own just one more time".  I had my surgery 4 weeks ago and my reason was not primarily to lose the weight.  I have lost and gained about 500 pounds in my lifetime.  I can lose the weight if I want to.  The problem is keeping it off.  This surgery is not a quick fix or a magic wand, simply a tool to help us stay on track if we want to stay on track.  We can sabbotage ourselves right back to square one if we choose to live our old lives again, or we can work the gift we've been given and live happier, healthier lives.  We will never be able to not pay attention to what we are eating ever again. I have struggled to come to terms with losing food, I mourned food.  It was how we celebrated good news and special occasions, it was how I would comfort myself or my family when bad things happened, it was my partner when I was bored and my spirit lifter when I was sad.  You will go through a lot of mixed emotions through this process and your best bet to prepare is to start adjusting now.  You'll make the right decision for you, you've got plenty of time.  Is there a support group meeting around you that you can attend?  I found it so helpful in my pre-op months to meet with people in the same boat.  The best of luck to you. :)

At first I had regrets. Now that my innards have healed up I wouldn't think twice about doing it again. I'm one year out and down from 315lbs to 170lbs. A year ago I was on 6 medications, today I am on NONE. I'm able to run up 12 flights of stairs faster then my lazy kids can get up in the elevator. Not to mention I look fantastic.

I don't know how old you are but as someone said, you may not be hampered by your weight now but time isn't always kind.  Fifteen years ago I lost 110 lbs. with just diet and exercise.  Of course I gained, lost and gained all of it, plus, back.  Now 15 years later I couldn't walk around the grocery store or stand to make dinner and climbing the stairs to go to bed/bathroom was too much like work.  I have/had abused my joints and spine to the point that exercise was out of the question and I lived at the chiropractor (I still have to go see him but not as often).  I'm 10 weeks into my journey (including 3 weeks of Optifast), down 37 lbs. and I can do so many things already that I have not been able to do in many years.  Run up the stairs to go to the bathroom (drinking lots of water), walk, exercise and just feel a WHOLE LOT better.  I still have a long ways to go on my journey but I'm confident and greatful that I now have the tool to keep it off.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Definitely do all the homework, think, re-think and think again.  Only you can decide what's best for you but - I will recommend WLS to anyone who is suffering obesity and considering this life changing surgery.
All the best!
