I'm glad they have a site for those of us over 40. I am really interested in hearing how those of us are doing.

I was banded on Oct 18 so its only been 3 days. Still recuperating from surgery.

Hello everyone....I am 46 y/o young and loving it. My only child is grown and traveling the country, I'm single and fancy free. I've been banded since April 2011 and have had my ups and down, but I keep striving to make myself healthy and of course, sexy...lol (in my eyes). I just wanted to say, let's get it in and good luck on your weight loss journey.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
