So glad things are going so good for you. You are doing a fantastic job. It just shows you are never to old to make changes can't wait for the 23 to get here so my surgery will be over.

Thanks everyone seeing I don't have support with this at home you are such a big help and comfort. Any tips on what I need to do to get myself prepared it's going to be hard food is my best friend but the psychologist feels I will do fine

Thanks so much for the support . it means a lot to me. have only shared my surgery with a few people don't need anymore negativity about it. You will be hearing alot more from me. I see there are a few others on the 23 so happy to have all of you to share this with if there is anything I can do to help any of you I am here for you

Didn't sleep much last night after getting my October 23 date it's kind of hard I don't have a lot of support just from the group's here my husband thinks that just because I lost weight before hand that I could just keep doing it he doesn't want to hear anything about the surgery my daughter said at your age I am 67 why would you do it so it is a struggle for me to stay positive with all the negative I am starting to get emotional now feeling pretty much alone on this journey But the good news is already my A1C from my diabetes has dropped from 10.5 to 7.1 that is way I am doing this surgery to get healthly has anyone else started to get emotional as it gets closer food is my best friend

I don't have to do any diet before just 24 hours only clear liquids

Sharon thanks so much for the information. Tomorrow I find out the exact date this month I will be having surgery. Being older can be different with the surgery then when you are younger. The doctor I chose doesn't normally do surgery on people older then 65 but when he met me he said he wouldn't have a problem since I am not the typical 67 year person so that made me feel better.

Sharon how was your surgery any problems how long were you in the hospital how long did it take to get your strength back

Patsy1947 do you find at our age you lose weight slower and how did you do with the surgery did it take longer to recuperate how long were you in the hospital

You can still join us
