I'm scheduled to have the gastric sleeve in January. I've been binge watching YouTube vlogs nonstop and everyone looks so young. I want to do this for better health and longevity.

Probably 6 weeks Min. But definately discuss with Dr.

This is definitely a decision to discuss with your surgeon, but assume a minimum of 6 weeks.

I took 6 weeks

Me too. I need to be regular and drinking and not eating made me so constipated that I needed a laxative. I don't like that feeling. Is constipation a issue with this surgery?

I am 48 and had my sleeve bypass on 12-11 It is so far the best thing I have ever done in my life, I have been vary lucky and have had no problems. The reason I made this choice is because of all of the pain I have in my legs and feet. I had a stroke 4 yrs ago. Then 4 month later I had accepted meningitis was in a coma for a week, I have chronic lyme disease and then got Gillian berriet syndrome so over 4 yrs I gained 179 lbs I almost lost my life. I now have 2 grandsons 2 and 3 and I cant even move without major pain. I feel this will get me my life back and give me the chance to live. I think age has nothing to do with wanting to feel good about yourself, 50 is the new 30. Take the chance to be healthy. I have already lost 19 lbs and can't wait yo continue to get healthy. Let me know how things go for you. Get excited to start your life again.

What procedure are you referring to? I am a 73 (December 26,1945) RuN bypasser, we have many sleevers who are 59-68, I have an ESG friend in Dayton Ohio, I'm sure you can find lapbands who are happy still. Probably Sips , MGB, maybe Obera balloon or 2. Name your procedure you're querying about. And 99% of us would not go back to our old lives!

Don't worry, a lot of people get chilly feet, but very very few cancel. I think I asked on another thread which procedure were you fearful of?
I fought long, I fought hard to get my procedure, I never was chilly footed but many are. It is a profoundly life changing situation you are heading towards. But would I return to how I was before my surgery, No No a million and half times No. I was 365 pounds at my highest, had worn out 2 knees, had to have them replaced, I was so sick and tired of being sick and ? tired. Every day was a struggle to move, I spent time lying down, because it hurt too much to be up, even sitting. I was ru,bing out of energy, any exertion and I was out of breath, people around me dropping like flies and I wasn't sure I might not be next. Tried every diet known to man, even tried starving myself. My quality of life was abysmal but a spark inside me Dr used not to give up. And I was older than many programs cut-off age, so I had an uphill battle to find one to give me a fighting chance, had to prove my worthiness, but on September 5th 2018 at 7AM , my Wonder Wednesday, my SURGIBIRTHDAY occured. And I have not had the smoothest of healing journeys, indeed I am still healing, but I am also 110 or so pounds below that Horrible for Me High Weight, and each day is a new day , I have a future and I will stick with it until my goal is reached, may be 18 months instead of a year, you do lose at a slower rate, but still you do lose. And the world that once counted me out will realize the folly of such thinking, for Frustr8 has a lot to offer. Want to join me on this trek to health? Always looking for more friends!??I think I'm pretty lucky to have done what I have.
