Hi, I am 61 and just was banded on August 27. From reading your post, it looks like you are about ready to have the surgery. I am now three days out and it is going well. I have a blog about everything if you wish to read it. healthierdocsly.blogspot.com I am writing it to help others know they are not alone and it helps me face the challenge.

Hi, I am 61 and was banded on August 27. I have the same goal as you, I want to healthy.

Hi, My name is Sylvia and I am 61 years old. I have five grandsons, the youngest is 13 days old. I have been working with a trainer three times a week and seeing a nutritionist twice a month for the last four months. I have July and August to go plus a psychiatric eval this month. Then, I believe the insurance will approve my lapband procedure. I haven't lost a pound in the past four months. I have given up caffeine, working on less diet pop, and struggling to eat more slowly. I am still working and I seem to forget to stop and smell the roses (namely meal time). I hope to have the surgery in September and then will be working hard to take off approximately 100 pounds. Thanks for this group!

Thanks, I will try that. Most of them are professional clothes and I am certain they will sell.

I have a closet full of dry cleaned and ready to wear size 24 and 3X and don't know what to do with them. I am not interested in selling necessarily, just would like to recoup some cost of dry cleaning. Any ideas? I won't keep them in the closet to go back to.:confused2:

I noticed your age and felt akin. I am 61 and waiting for the insurance approval but my go for it on our own $. I will have about 100 pounds to lose. Good luck to you. God speed your recovery and lease on a new life.

I am waiting for insurance approval! I went to a hospital program this week and met Dr. O'Brien. I want to have this surgery so that I can watch my grandchildren grow and spend many years with my family. I have been overweight all of my life and at 62, I think I may have found the tool to assist with this massive task. I have been exercising with a trainer for about 18 months and I really want to have a way to make that count.
