Frustr8 is back to this forum!!! I read her first post in Over 60?? thread. She is "healing happily". Come on Frustr8, we're all here waiting to hear your story. Wish you quick recovery! Looking forward to my VSG!

I have no surgery date yet. One more visit of med.supervised diet this month. Looking forward to my VSG!

So glad to hear you're in a less pain. I'm a nurse at VA hospital, i saw a word "Navy" in your first post and followed your progress since. Reading your posts is very inspirational Looking forward to my VSG!

Andy, congratulation on your successful surgeries. Glad to hear both were done laparoscopicically. Wish you quick recovery! Looking forward to my VSG!

I salute to your resiliency. What a stoic, positive and strong man you are. Good luck and successful surgery! I wish i could shake your hand and say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE in person. Looking forward to my VSG!

It could be effect of biotine (if you take one). Biotine promotes hair growth. Looking forward to my VSG!

Wishing you best of luck with your surgery, Frustr8. Sending you lots of positive vibes and prayers. Stay strong! Looking forward to VSG!

Amazing transformation in all 3 men as time went by. What a wonderful family. Congratulation on your weight loss! Your sons lost some too...lol Looking forward to VSG!

You can walk in the mall, it's air conditioned environment plus window shopping. You can walk at home while watching Leslie Sansone's Walk At Home videos on YouTube. Another option is dancing in front of a mirror at home. All 3 options are free of charge. I lost 19lb doing that 3yrs ago. Good luck!

Ooh Frustr8 i admire your determination to live a better life. You're such an inspiration and motivation to me and so many others. At age 60 i thought I'm too old for WLS. At 62 i said to myself it's now or never. Then i read your posts.....i wish i could give you a hug but you're far away from KS. I put September 5th on my calendar....lol

Wish you best of luck with your surgery!

Thank you

What a great news! Congratulation to you.

Thank you for your replies. I need to be patient and continue with my requirements.

Hi everybody! I'm new here but was reading for 1mo. I'm 62, 5'5" with low bmi 36.4 but i want my healthy and active life back. I started WLS in mid April: met with surgeon, nutritionist, had 5 appts with psychologist and passed psy.eval. I'm in the process and will complete my medically supervised diet in September and will do sleep study on July 31st. My insurance is Fed.BCBS and I'm worried about my low bmi. But i have 2 co-morbidities. I wonder at what point of your process you learned about your surgery date? I assume it is subject of insurance approval? Thank you.
