I ate two cub cakes, got violently sick throw the rest of them (10) in the trash can.

At age 64 I’m happy I had my R-N-Y Bypass. My diabetes is in reverse and I went from 210lbs. at 5’6” to 160lbs. In three months.

Insulin dependent diabetic with acid reflux. At age 64 I had to have a R-N-Y Bypass on May 15th. No insulin, no diabetic meds! God is Most Gracious and Most Kind.

I had a RNY Bypass May 15, 2017 and I’m age 65.

RNY at age 65!

I can’t drink the protein; I become nauseated and gag. May 15th was my surgical date, but I’m not showing any protein deficiencies???

Protein will help. I order a reclining chair from a local medical supply shop for a month ($120) and it really helped, especially when trying to get a good night’s sleep.

I finally have a date. May 15th! I hope and pray my Sleeve with reverse my diabetes. If not I may have to do the other operation. I hope....

Thank you so much for contacting me! I’m excited and worried about my May surgery date. I still can’t decide between the sleeve or the RnY. How did you choose. I keep thinking, at my age the sleeve would be safer. I am 5’5” and 210 pounds and I have a lot of mobility diseases.

Agreed. This loud machine and it’s pods are gimmicks and it’s not worth the money I’ve paid over the last two months, because I’ve had to take and pay for additional vitamin D and calcium.

Thank you so much! The age thing was causing some concern; because some doctors (not specialist) say you should not get this operation after age 60. I’m proceeding full speed ahead. Thank you, again for your encouragement[emoji177]

Agreed. I have not had my surgery yet, which is why I don’t mind taking the Tespo vitamins, now.

I’m very excited for you! I don’t have a surgery date, but I’m going to see the nutritionist this Thursday. May the Peace and Blessing of God be with you on March 19th and as you continue your new journey. Best Wishes!

I just started using it last week; I'm pre-op and I’m just trying to build up my vitamin intake. I like it!

Happy to hear this inspiring experience!

Thank you so much for this great inspiration!!!

What kind of surgery did you choose? Happy to hear you are pleased.

Are there seniors and Baby Boomers who have had Gastric Bypass Surgery at this stage of their life? Any age related complications? Or not?

? I love your response. Baby Boomers are not going out in a rocking chair. Best!

I am 64 and have the same morbidity issues. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I am in the pre-op stage. Anyone over age 60?

I am 64 years old and use a pump daily to administer insulin. I have been a Type 2 diabetic for ten years. My sister, age 61 got the sleeve, but she has had the disease for a shorter period and does not use insulin. My doctor and I decided on the Rny...

Oh! I hope I don’t have to drink anything with lactose???

I just joined and I’m almost ready for surgery. Just a few more steps!
