Hope2018 got a reaction from Fluffy Grandma in Age 60 is the new 40?
Hi all,
Woohoo! I have finished my extensive 'checklist' of tests and exams and classes required by my program, and now waiting on insurance approval and a surgery date for the gastric sleeve. I am hoping for late May 2018 surgery date. I'm 60 - so for me it's now or never. I have stayed motivated and obtained excellent education by listening to Reeger Cortell's podcasts (highly recommend) as well as reading peer-reviewed journal articles, going onto sites like this one, and others on Instagram. I love the before/after pictures - truly some amazing transformations! I'm nervous but ready for showtime! My highest weight is 272 pounds (5'7" height, wearing size 22/3X clothes. My goal is to do the best I can, treat the sleeve well, not overeat, stick to the rules, healthy diet choices, Protein, hydration, Vitamins, exercise and all that is required for maximum success - so that I am out of plus size clothes, exercising regularly (miracle right there). If weight is a goal, then ideally I'd like to get to at least 170. Would love to have some May or June buddies!
xoxo
