Regret? Weight Loss Surgery - 2008

PLEASE NOTE - This video is from 2008, shortly after I started having seizures. IT REFLECTS THE FEELINGS AT THE TIME.

It is now late 2011, and I am still having seizures and difficulties, with no diagnosis, and I can see the drastic difference in MYSELF from this video until NOW.

(For example - speaking in a train of thought? IMPOSSIBLE NOW.)

Please keep that in mind before you HATE or thumb this down. It's my reality.

This is only a video for those who are having this surgery for all the WRONG reasons!! My Doctor would have never done the surgery for the sheer fact of being "Obese" without any health issues, so for your Doctor to have done that was wrong to begin with. I had a couple minor issues at the time of surgery and am now 3 years out and just today found out that I may have to have Revision Surgery because of a 2cm Ulcer at the connection, and some other issues as well, but it is a trade off!

@Mamajo1026 I suppose at the time I appeared of less health. Who, at 320 lbs, seems healthy? A co-morbidity can be as simple as GERD/reflux. I had that.  I'm over it. The video is... 4 years old.

You say your video feels like whinnying. But I want to tell you it made me feel better. I am post gastric bypass and got very sick just returned home from the hospital. I regret the surgery and was looking for others. My family doesn't understand and being so sick has left me feeling very depressed. I am sorry you have been so sick. But I want to thank you for your videos they made me feel not alone and that's a miracle for me.

@WillowSnuggles2 How long ago was your surgery? I am now almost eight years post op, and I tell you what... those first few weeks are the worst. IT DOES PASS. xo

This video you made is in 2008, which is 3 years ago not 4. You clearly said "you lost weight, but gained health problems." You say through out the whole video that the surgery caused your problems. If you don't like how people like me are reacting to the video you posted 3 years ago, then you need to DELETE THE VIDEO! Stop scaring people with your lies.

@MommieReinvention459 BTW - I am curious - why do you care? You're post op. Why not support? Feel free to join us.

My mate told me to stop watching these videos but so many have very helpful. But this one has truly scared me to death. I'm slowly going into tears.
