67 and had my sleeve on 8/28 this year. So far everything is going great. I had to do a six month doctor weight program and as of now I have lost 95 pounds. I suffer from knee and back pain so exercise is limited. Hoping that will get better. It's the best thing I have done for myself. Good luck.

Cinde 52- I had my sleeve on August 28 and I am 67. I ran into a little trouble with a leak but after my doctor went back in and fixed it I am doing great. I was questioning if I was to old but I wanted to do it so bad. My body and joints were starting to give me a lot of pain. I had to do a six month doctor weight program and as today I have lost 93 pounds. I feel like a different person. I know you will do awesome. Just follow your surgeons directions and good luck.

I had my sleeve on the 28 th of August and I turned 67 right before my surgery. I also had two heart stents put in November the year before. I had the six month insurance weigh ins and lost close to 72 pounds within that six month period. My sleeve surgery hit a snag when my surgeon had to go back in due to a leak. I spent five days in the hospital .He fixed that and I have done great since. I am currently at week 4 and on pureed food till next week. Hit the dreaded three week stall. Staying on course though.

I turned 67 right before my sleeve surgery. Along the pre - op journey of six months I had two heart stents put in and did very well. Two of my daughters had the sleeve surgery and encouraged me to get it done. I have been overweight most of my life and was now having back and knee pain. I was excited to be approved and had my surgery on 8/28/19 . Things went good till my blood pressure bottomed out , so my surgeon went back in to look for a leak. Whatever was going on he fixed it and after five days in hospital , I am home and doing great. I don't regret any of my process. I am at 4 weeks today and now have hit a stall for a week but I know I am still on track and the stall will end. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F using BariatricPal mobile app

I too wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital. Never used my slippers, wore the lovely brown socks they furnished. I also wore the hospital gown with pajama pants underneath. The Iv is hard to deal with if you use your gown. I only took one pair of pj s and I ended up with a leak and a five day stay in the hospital. I took my tooth brush,paste and deodorant and a hair brush. You will be resting for the most part. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F using BariatricPal mobile app

I read some blogs where a few of the surgery centers had a closet that you could visit and get donated clothing as you lost weight. That would be great and save money as we all got smaller. I was fortunate that my daughter had the surgery a year before me and gave me a lot of her clothes. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F using BariatricPal mobile app

I had a really bad taste to the point that I would get out of bed and brush my teeth again during the night. Not so bad since I started the puree food . Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery on 8/28/19. My second week I believe I was feeling hungry for a couple of days. My two daughters had surgery last year and they said I was having head hunger. Whatever. Sent from my Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F using BariatricPal mobile app

When I started the puree, scrambled egg did that to me. Oh how awful it felt. Tuna salad and ricotta bake did better along with cream of chicken soup. Later I tried the egg again , only eating three bites and quit and it did better. Always chew your food slow , wait a few seconds between bites.
