Dec 9th here too! Please keep in touch through this.

I'm 60, and had my sleeve done 7.5 months ago. I've lost 53 lbs, and have 21 to go to reach my goal weight. I hate exercise, and I've done very little of it - like only when I must do something to break a stall, and then it's only walking.

Never too late! I had my surgery on Oct 3,2012 just 11 days shy of my 68th birthday. I just had my one year visit with my surgeon last Thur, the day after my 69th birthday. Bloodwork is perfect and weight loss is 92 lbs. Best gift I could ever give myself. Feel like the 60's are the new 40's now. Live on...

Hi...I'm 65 and have been told by "friends" don't you think you're a little to old to be doing this? Since I'm neither little or old I told them NO LOL My family is behind me every step of the way...My oldest granddaughter...she's 18.... hugs me and says she's happy I've finally come to me senses ...she wants me around a while longer I've promised my daughter, nieces and granddaughter to a night of dancing once I lose at least 75 lbs...I'm tired of hiding....surgery is scheduled for Nov 29th

I wondered if I was too old to have this done. I'm 66. But I went ahead with the surgery on 8/28/12. Lost 41 lbs. feeling great. My only challenge is getting in enough Protein and liquids because I get full so fast. I've always been a speed eater, so it's hard for me to slow down, too.

I was leeved on June 8 in Tijuana throug ALM (A Lighter Me). They are offering plastic surgery and based on my my experience with them I have no reservations about using them again! I am 62 and a retail store owner. I love my work. When I get to the right place I will get them done as I want to keep working until I am 70 or so.

I'm December 9th. I would love to keep in touch with y'all. I'm excited & a little nervous!

Good job!!! I can't wait for that day!! My surgery is Dec 9th!!

I haven't "convinced" anyone, but my wife decided she wanted to have the surgery as well and we are doing it together.

You have to go in to surgery with positive thoughts. That way your mind and body will work together.
I'm set for Dec 9th. I'm trying to practice what I preach!!!

San Antonio! 8 days post op....doing well.

Hey all y'all texas peeps!!!! Soooooo glad to see you here! I am from midland and I have my surgery in Dallas tomorrow! Yes, tomorrow! I am actually at winstar.... Stayed last night. Heading to hotel in Dallas in a bit.
Someone is from West Texas. Do you mean the city of West or geographical west texas???? Midland is in west texas.
My doc is victor Gonzalez. Yalls? I am happy to say I did survive the two week pre op liquid diet. However the last two days of Clear liquids with no Protein shakes has really sucked but having juice has saved me as sugar was not allowed before. I know I shouldn't really have it now but saved me . Please keep in touch. I need support!!!!!!! Starting to get a little nervous.

Surgery 12/17! I am excited, nervous and scared to death all at the same time!!! lol

I'm excited but of course nervous as well. I have a upper GI on the 7th but no 2 week pre-op instructions which kinda freaked me out but then it looks like I'm not the only one! I do however have to lose more weight and have an exercise program in place or my surgery gets pushed off! I would like to kind of take this journey with someone else as well. Anyone wanting to keep in touch with progress, bad days, good days, etc? It would be nice to communicate with someone going through the same thing at the same time as me!

My Surgery Is December 8,2015
I'm Excited And Nervous
Start my Clear liquid diet 2 Days Before My Surgery

Thank you all so much for sharing. My surgery date is December 9th and I get anxious just thinking about it.
Reading posts on this site help me know what I may have to deal with and lets me prepare mentally.
Good luck on your journey, you've got this!
