I am a 3 year veteran and have been lurking in shadows for most of that time. Jane I am familiar with your medical difficulties, and other vets who have had a much easier journey. After a couple of days with boughts of nausea my personal experiences have been uneventful. I feel we are very relavent. I wish there had been more veterans I could relate to....to know there is an "afterlife" of normalcy after surgery.

I had my sleeve 3 years ago today...at the grand age of 58 y/o. I think I am more in tune with my body than when I was young. Haven't had a weight problem until my hysterectomy at 41. We each have very personal reasons for this surgery. I feel your surgeon is doing a disservice adding age factors.

Currently 61 y/o....surgery three years ago. Absolutely no regrets. Wish I had it sooner.

I am coming up on 3 years post surgery..what type of support do you need,,,,answers, reassurance, glad to assist.
