Would you do it over again?

Jun 04, 2009

     I am having open RNY on Monday.  I am nervous and questioning this decision.  Maybe I have researched it to much.  I read about the complications and they concern me.  I had surgery that did not heal correctly last year. (Hernia Repair)  My doctor and I believe it was because of my weight and the pressure on the hernia that made it come back.  The goal is to lose enough weight so I do not have to have another hernia repair.  This will be number 6.
     But my question to all of you who have gone through this is, "Would you do it again and why?"  I want the good and the bad.  My decision is made and everyone I talk to say they would.  But nobody has told me why.  I am OK in my own skin, except the hernia.  So, please let me know how your life is different since the surgery.
