given all of the surgeries and stuff that followed afterwards do you ever regret getting your gastric bypass, or do you think you would've had the same issues if you stayed big/lost it naturally?
Chances are, without the surgery, I probably wouldn't have lost as much weight as I did with it. Having the surgery forced me on the right path and has kept me there. And over time, I don't even need the "consequences" (discomfort, vomiting, dumping syndrome) of overeating or eating the wrong things, because I've become so accustomed to my limitations.
With that said, without the surgery it's a 50/50 shot as to whether or not I would have needed my gallbladder out... there's a family history of gallbladder issues and surgical removals, and me losing the amount of weight I did gave mine the final K.O.
But without the surgery, I wouldn't have had the intestinal issues (twisting)... and it's doubtful I would have developed ulcers, since a normal digestive system has a better blood flow, and thus would be able to heal itself more quickly and efficiently.
But still...no regrets. If I was still the weight I was before (over 300 lbs), I would have been a mess, health-wise, just in other ways.
