    girl in distress about surgery

    Girl: You don't know what your missing out on. I was just like you before my surgery in May. I did it and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Not for anyone else. I have lost 28lbs and feel like a different person already. The thing I have found that I like the most is, the control that it gives me over my eating habits. It makes me pay attention to what I put in my mouth. I was so out of control. I have such a different thinking process about ME. Do it for yourself. You wont be dissappointed. Its no quick fix, but it changes your life for the better. Dont worry, just make the move to better health. Good Luck. Bimby.

    A place for bandsters in their 60's

    My doc requires phsyco counseling, nutricienist, and 2 days workshop which I do all of these this fri sat and sunday. Then they set the date for surgery. I am sure they will tell me all I need to do. I look forward to it, and hope to get good results. I know there are no miracles but I do expect more than just having to go on a diet. My doc says diets dont work. I will keep you posted to how I do and what they say.

    Hi. Dont give up, keep working with ur doc and have you tried eating low carb. I had a customer that wasnt loosing and she was eating the junk food she loved because her amount was limited she thought it wouldnt matter, but it does. Hope you start getting results soon.

    Wow, its nice to meet a fellow rver. We love this life. We have been to your state a couple of times, on our way to alaska and once when we went on canadian railroad trip. The most beautiful part of your state is a lake we saw as we came over the mountain coming back east. The apple orchards and the fertile east side of the cascades is so lovely. We are planning to go back out west to the canyonlands and yosemite in June or July as soon as I get my band where it needs to be. How have u been doing since u were banded?

    Hi Brian, I am 62 and before I checked out this website I thot I may be too old to do this, but my doc said there are old young pp. Young is in the mind and heart. He said he has seen pp in the 40s and 50s that their health has aged them well beyond there years. I think you are young at heart to want to improve your health as it seems most of keenagers here want to do. Good luck. Gloria

    Hi everyone. I have just joined the group and am so glad to see pp my age here. I worried that I am to old for this, except that I need to loose for my asthma, heart, acid reflux disease. I had no idea that there was this many of us young pp that had it done. I go for the 2 day workshop next week and will have my band the end of April. I know it has to be a big change in eating habits, but I want to do this so bad so I can enjoy retirement with hubby. We sold everything and bought a camper and we have visited most states and want to finish til we have visited every state. Its our time to have fun. I want to feel like hiking and walking and not just sitting because I cant breath. Its so good to hear all talk about how much better they feel. It encourages me. I look forward to talking with you all.

    How do us over 60s do after surgery. I go next week for my preop. I am a little afraid because of my age.
  14. Has anyone had problems after surgery that some may not tell. I know lots of pp in my area that have had it and have had good results with little complications. I cant help but worry about the future after this.
  15. HI. I am in the process of having my lapband done the end of April. I am already trying to talk myself out of it because of the same reasoning. I think, I wont enjoy eating ever again. Is this true?
