I'm so happy I had the surgery. It's been almost 3 weeks . I had very easy recovery. I do not miss eating big portions I'm glad I can finally eat "like a normal person" and small portions and I hope it lasts forever. Good luck. Don't be scared. It's the best thing for us. I lost 33 pounds so far. I can't tell you enough how happy that i did it !
Heck no. Not even a little bit. Best thing ever.

For me, this was the best health-related decision I've ever made. It's not just the weight loss, but the health issues associated with being obese quickly disappearing - and the prescriptions are not needed. It is a definite adjustment from living to eat to eating to live, but your surgeon and staff, and my family and friends support system has been a tremendous help. Lots of good luck!
NO...though just recently had VSG but tried for two years to get insurance approved & finally did so NO NO NO; when I started eating right before surgery I found myself amazed at all the good healthy foods out there & all the options that I've yet to try and wondered why had I never tried them before...I'm just already feeling so much better, better than I have in years and am only on POD#8 Surgery is just a tool you have to be in a positive mind space as well and do the life-time work. NOTHING else I've tried has worked for me, I've dropped a lot of weight in the past with the use of now banned ephedrine & starvation & it was wrecking my body. There will be foods I'm sure I'll miss eating but the victories will out-weigh the short term taste. Being able to get this surgery is a great blessing to me.
With God ALL things are possible! VSG 3/13/14 Dr. John Mathews
No regrets. Delighted with the sleeve. Lost 50 pounds since surgery almost 3 months ago. I know it will be hard work at some point, losing and maintaining, but so far it has been relatively easy for me. Good luck, my friend. You will be happy.
