My daughter was born when was 42. When my husband was born, his Mom was 45. Go for it!

I understand wanting to ditch the thing! But, couldn't you have a heart attack or a stroke if your oxygen level goes down too far? I think the safe way to go is to wear it. My understanding is that the flap that obstructs the airway gets smaller *after* losing a significant amount of weight.

I'm 2 1/2 years out and would do it again in a heartbeat! I can exercise at the gym without hurting myself, my diabetes is GONE, and my blood pressure is lower. No more energy spent trying to diet, which never worked long term! As far as the food goes, I don't miss the junk-- I find myself just not wanting it. Still love to cook interesting foods and can eat what I want.
Please don't worry.

Thanks for letting us know! I'm sure you will help a lot of folks. Hope your new surgery has you feeling a lot better!

I'm now 66-- had gastric sleeve surgery 2 1/2 years ago. I also am much healthier than before and hope to live many more vital years. Also find it easier to not bring temptations into the house. Night is challenging, especially when you can't get to sleep and it winds up being many hours since you had dinner or your last snack. If I eat past 7:30pm, I get reflux. To avoid getting too hungry, I have my Protein Shake right before heading for bed. It's very satisfying, but not solid, so I don't have any problems with reflux.
Great to hear of your continuing success!

I have a question about the meetings with the nutritionist. At my 2nd visit, I turned in a log for the prior month. Did you do this? If so, did you get any feedback? Did the nutritionist say what the goal was, or what they would be checking for? Thanks.

I don't think luck has anything to do with it. When I read over the final report of my surgery, it indicated that the doctor removed the gas before finishing the surgery.

Congratulations on losing so much! Could it be that they noticed, but don't want to intrude?

Got it now.... THANKS! http://proteinartist.com/2014/07/seitan-tomato-alfredo-28-grams-protein-per-4-ounce-meal/

For me, breathing slowly and deeply helps.
For insomnia, stop looking at TV or computer screens for 2 hours before going to bed, sit in bed and read for a little while to slow down.

I am 64 and was sleeved near the end of last September.

Congratulations for taking positive action!
I couldn't keep it a secret... too excited!

Maybe they had WLS!

Believe me, my little tummy would look a whole hail of a lot worse if I died 10 years early, which is the path I was on!

@@OutsideMatchInside, I've gone through several changes too. I go to the thrift shop for them. They're only $2.

Yes! I'm from Silver Spring. Where are you located?
