Yeah ladies in the 50 range!!! I am so excited we are changing to insurance that will do WLS!! Whoot whoot! I had a lapband in 2006 and had many problems with gastritis. They say it was one of the first bands and many had the same issues. So I was filled and unfilled... not fun ... but I still managed to lose 80 lbs and about 70% of my weight.... until it slipped and had to be removed.... that was almost 2 years ago and I have regained all of that weight back and gained many extra health issues. So NOW... I will be able to do the SLEEVE! I am so hopeful as the health issues mount and I want to ENJOY life! I have to wait till January when the new insurance starts, but I am trying to get it all set up now! I want so much to be successful with VSG!!!!! So unfair that the band failed me!!!! I felt like such a failure but I know it was IT and not me... so excited! I hope to be very very successful and have a true LITTLE black dress!! :ph34r:

I'm 54. In my 9th week post op. Down 48 pounds and on a stall since the first of the month. So frustrated. But I'm keeping up my plan and waiting this out. Can't wait to hit the 50 pound mark. Will it ever come? LOL
