Dreamer, are you 5'2" or shorter? If so, that along with your 50lbs to loose could mean you will reduce at a slower rate.

When I see a post like this it makes me so scared of the possible complications. I'm so glad you didn't mess around & went to ER immediately. Wishing you a good day of rest. Pls keep us posted on your progress. P.S. I have my first consultation in 2 weeks.

Praying for you jcarelle. Did you ask the dr for an anti-depressant. It will help. Please update us often. We are praying for you.

Jas, love you pic. You look great! Your smile says it all.

Jas, I'm so glad you are feeling better. And, you've made some big steps in being the new You---attending church and re-thinking your boyfriend relationship to find out if it is right for you. You've come such a long way and deserve the very best! Continued love and prayers to you.

Jas, my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery and more immediately--a good night's rest.

You are a beautiful lady. Pls continue to post your progress and After pictures.

Praying for you dear jasleeve . Have been watching your blog closely for a glimmer of healing. I am continuing to monitor here and continuing to pray for a fast fast recovery.

Thanks to all of you over 50 for this blog. I'm seriously thinking of having this surgery but have been afraid because if my age. I'm mostly healthy except for being overweight(189lbs & 4'11" tall) and high cholesterol. I don't care about being skinny--I just want to be healthy, move around better, have people treatment with more respect, and see my wonderful grandchildren grow up. I need to lose 50-60 lbs. some of you may say you can do that on your ownbut losing weight after 50 is daunting if not almost impossible. My metabolism is dead. I don't have time for an hour or more a day of exercise due to the long hours I put in at work. And when I do a diet and exercise, I'll get maybe a 5 lb loss after 2 months of working on it. I' ready to make a life altering commitment but I'm scared because of all the horrible complications I've read about on other blogs here--I guess that's the risk we take for this surgery. I have a desk type of job so how long do you think I need for recovery? Thanks to all you brave after 50 sleeves.
