Hi, My name is Patty. I'm almost 53. Sleeved 12-28 and I had no issues at all. I woke up in recovery in shock that I felt no pain and I never did. I never used any pains pills. I hope the same for you. I weighed 287 and now weigh 270. It's amazing and wished I could have done this years ago.

I'm 52. 5'7" my highest weight was 287. I was on a 6 month program for my insurance and I lost 20lbs. I live in WV. Currently starving on this liquid diet lol. But I've proven to myself that I can do it. I've turned down food offered to me in my face from people who don't know I'm fasting. So pretty good I think. :)

I'm nervous about getting nauseous and throwing up after surgery. I'm a big baby when it comes to getting sick. Lol

Hi Connie, I am 55 from Arizona. Had VSG in December and have lost 21 pounds. It's been pretty easy so far. Went back to work after 3 weeks. You will do great!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
