regretting surgery
I have read a few posts lately about those
talking about regretting the surgery. Id like to make a
simple point…. Ask a woman in hard core labor and she
may very well tell you she regrets getting pregnant.
Later on she will be so elated to have a new baby she
wont be able to believe she thought that, let alone
said it out loud.<br> I too thought I regretted
surgery during the early stages, but now I know it was
all normal. It IS part of the process and soon you
will look back and laugh. TRUST ME!!! My husband and I
are both post op and both of us went through the same
feelings. I had morepain and healing problems, he had more
nausea and vomitting. Either way it was a process for
both of us. I am 11 months post op and he is 8. We
woldnt trade our experience for anything and NO WAY
would we go back and not have had the surgery. <br>
HOLD TIGHT!!!!!! In a few months your new body, new
self esteem, new energy, and new outlook on life will
be just like holding that new baby. NO REGRETS!!!!!!

No Regrets!!!<br><br>I am 13 months post op. I
remember wailing after the surgery thinking that God did
not want me to change the plumbing of my body. What
had I done? After I recuperated and got back on track
(exactly eight weeks), I’ve never looked back. I haven’t
lost all my weight. I needed to loose 100 pounds. I
got down to 165 pounds from 240 (lost all the weight
in the first two months…at a stand still ever
since) and I look good. I’m going with it. No regrets.
The pain and lots of suffering was worth the 75
pounds. P.S. When I dump, I sweat a lot that’s it. I wish
I would get really sick so I wouldn’t eat the
things I do. What I really needed was a mind transplant
to go along with the gastric bypass. Old habits die
really hard.
