SANDRA60

Hi, My name is Sandra. I am currently age 60. I am so happy to have found this site and this forum. I am waiting insurance approval. I hope to have my VS done before the end of the year when my insurance changes to Blue Shield. I am very hopeful. I will be going to Dr. Cirangle. I am not happy about the $5000.00+ they want up front for " non covered expenses".( I am so ready for this I will pay it.!) 60 years old and I realize I am never going to be able to loose weight and keep it off on my own. I have a few concerns. Except for my weight, I am fairly healthy. My problems are all weight related. Joint pain, inactivity, trouble tying my shoes etc.....I look forward to being more active, and hopefully getting in shape. I still worry about gaining the weight back. But my big worry is having the surgery create a new problem. Acid reflux, and choking are two things. I've been told that I can control these things. Any problems I am not aware of that I should know? Thanks for any info. I know I am not old. I don't get it. Silly youngsters.

So Ginny, How has it been. I just got approval from my insurance yesterday. I just need my cardiac test next week and I am good to go. I truly would be interested in your 1st month or so. Please tell me how it is for 60+. Thanks, Sandra60
