Jenpez, Thank you thank you for such an inspiring story. I am 59 an going in 3 months for the sleeve surgery. Your story sounds much like mine and I too want to go into my 60's healthy and fit. Thanks for sharing.........I am so inspired.
Hi everyone, I am a retired registered nurse from Saskatchewan Canada. I traveled with my husbands job so I have worked in all areas including medical, surgical, ICU, ER, outpost, L&D, Cancer care. Anyway I am 59 and going to be sleeved in Mexico with Dr. A Ortiz on Jan 12 2015. I have researched for over 6 months and I think I'm getting prepared. Glad to see so many people in the medical field having this procedure done.
Thanks everyone for your input. I had an ultrasound 5 years ago and was told that I had sludge in the gallbladder. I definitely don't want to end up in the OR a few months after just having surgery.I I'm going to seriously think about this and talk to the doctor. I'm so thankful I have found this forum.......I have learned so much from all of you and am looking forward to the surgery as it comes closer.
Hi everyone, I am 59 and I have appointment Jan 12 in Mexico with Dr. A Ortiz for sleeve surgery. I have read a lot about people who have gallstones after rapid weight loss and I am just wondering if anyone has proactively had their gallbladders out? Any thoughts and advice will be appreciated. Thankd
