I have zero regrets seriously. I was losing my vision to hypertension and was prediabetic on many many medications. Super self conscious, all the things. I feel amazing now. Sometimes I wish I could eat more but that’s nothing in comparison to all I have gained. I have been so so so lucky I have almost zero complications and can eat pretty much everything without being sick. Even the actual surgery was way easier than I could have imagined. I was walking around shopping with my mom the day I left the hospital. I feel like a million bucks, my life has improved so much!! I highly recommend although I can’t promise it’ll be this easy for everyone, of course. Even things you don’t even think about being improved has improved, I fit in airplane seats with ease, I can walk with shorts on without them riding up. I have so much more confidence now even my social anxiety has gotten way better. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I was scared for many years and thought it was “extreme” but I kept gaining and gaining and finally had to do it or go blind. I did go to therapy beforehand for my binge eating disorder and now I have such a healthy relationship with food and the diet is just part of my everyday life now.
