I used to be deathly afraid of taking off my shirt in front of anyone because of them. Having a girlfriend that accepts it all so thoroughly stopped me from being self-conscious about them. Now I'm back to being self-conscious of other things about my body.
So, no, no regrets, beyond getting so overweight in the first place.
I really think young kids should be shown pictures or video of people who have lost a lot of weight, a sort of a driver's-ed-style scare tactic. I never would have let my weight get out of control if I had known what it would do to my body.
