Not at ALL. The first couple of weeks were rough but it was all worth it. In less than 8 months I am down 101 pounds and very happy.

even with my wound infection in the beginning...I wouldn't go back for a minute...every time I get that look from someone I haven't seen in a while, it sparks the same feeling of amazement in myself...
look what I have done. Look where I am now...Look what I can do...My surgery is only 2 months out noow, but my journey is over a year in the process, and I have lost 150 pounds now...do I regret any of it...not a single minute...not one minute of one day...well maybe one minute of one day, but that was long ago, and over with...I got over it, and moved on...
when I came here...I wore a size 32...This weekend, I am pulling out the size 20 jeans I have in storage. this is in just one year...you tell me how I feel about all this...In October of 2009, I weighed 419 pounds...This past Tuesday, at the doctor, I was 269. I was 259 when I married in 1996, at age 25...my goal is somewhere between 180 and 200 pounds...at my height and bone structure, my doctors say I will be thin at 200, and model thin at 180...I was 199 pounds when I graduated high school in 1987. I can live with that...I remember what I looked like at 17...yeah...I can live with that....

NO!!! I am so much healthier and so much happier! Would do it again maybe a decade sooner!

I have now regrets at all... being a size 11 is so fun. I am feeling so healthy. I would do it over in a heart beat!

Having this surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. Not a single regret for me. I feel like I have my life back. i am happy and healthy. Now,its not all sunshine and rainbows....sometimes it is difficult, especially in the beginning, and you have to really commit yourself to following the program and living healthy, but it is so worth it!

Yes I wished I had started this nightmare 40 or 50 lbs lighter. It would have been way easier and my skin would have been completely normal. Sound vain, I am! But fat ppl don't get me
wrong, I'd do it again with complications of which I had none, but I would do it again even with my eyes wide open

And while I had an excelent butcher, that might have been just dumb luck and guessing correct. I would check out any cracker you intend to staple your fat ass back together after you destroy a perfectly good
stomach.

no not fucking one other than that last shot of morphine I think I left in the despenser.

I would do it again in a minute. I had my surgery June 14th, it was hard for the first 3 weeks or so but then I started feeling normal again. I am down 78 pounds and feel wonderful. The only regret that I have is that I didn't do this 10 years ago. Good luck

My biggest regret is that it took me 2 years to finally decide that I wanted the surgery done.
Now that I'm 3 weeks out, I couldn't be happier.

No regrest here other than I wish I would have done it sooner. I am 3 weeks out and this holiday has been a bit tough but I did it. You will be happy when you have done it and are a few weeks out.

hmm...let me think....heck yes I would do it again! Granted i didn't have any complications and am doing fabulous if I do say so myself! But even it I did have complicaitons, the way I feel now, my health and energy - and the fact that I look awesome (I am so humble) I would still do it without hesitation!

Of course I have regrets. I regret that my body and brain were incapable of losing weight, no matter how hard I tried.

I regret being unable to walk for 10 years. I regret buying thousands of big and tall clothes, paying shipping and not having any surprises at Christmas, or birthdays, cause I had to try everything on, and then sometimes gaining weight before I had the chance to wear them.

I regret that Kaiser did not cover the surgery for the ten years I begged them for help in losing weight, and on and on.

Oh, but the question was do I regret my surgery? Do I regret losing 80% of my stomach and eating 1000-1100 calories a day, and eating mostly protein and complex carbs, giving up cookies, and cakes, and big sandwiches, and fatty meats? Well of course I regret that. And lots more....

But I LOVE the results and would redo it in a minute!

The only regret I have is that I let 5 precious years slip by while I decided whether or not to have the surgery.

I had my RNY on 10/20/10 and I do not regret one bit that I had this surgery. Before surgery I was at my heaviest of 341, I am now 41 lbs lighter. I am off all insulin and oral meds for my diabetes, blood pressure meds are cut in half. I have more energy (most days). I still have some bad days but never regret. Good luck to you.

I haven't done it yet, but wish I had done it sooner. I recommend you start the process (it takes a while) in the meantime hang around on this site, ask questions and read up. I think you will be anxious to get it done by the time all the pre-surgery stuff is done IF you also go on the website and do your own research. But if not, don't do it. For me giving up certain things is way worth not only getting thinner but healthier. When peopld say you can loose your weight without the surgery they might be right however 95% of all people Can not! There are genetic factors and other things at play with obesity.

I only regret not doing it earlier......Size 8 is awesome!!!
