Old Goat

Hi Jim Thanks so much for sharing where you have been and your progress made to date. Sure hope to keep in touch with all you guy's, that are getting me so excited to get this done. My Dietitian called and was able to move my date up to the 4th week in Aug. On the move Got a question for you Guy's. Exercise By The Book I have noticed from reading this forum that a lot of the most successful LB state "I do it by the Book". What would be the recommended exercise lets say for a 55 years and up Male. I'm not a 25-35 year old Jock any more.

Hi Joe that’s such great news to hear of your success over Diabetes. That is the Carrot LB surgery offers possible reversal of my Diabetes. That put me over the top to have it done Thanks. Still not sure what makes it work? But then who cares if it works.

Progress First step. Got the call to set my appointments with the Psychologist the 2nd and 4th weeks of Sept. that along with my appointment with the Dietitian the 3rd week Sept. I am on my way. Aye Second step wait six weeks wait. Third step – Attend a Weight Loss Support Group Meeting. Forth step – grumble, shuffle feet, grumble, wait. The 1st Seminar that I attended all the Lap Benders telling us their stores recommended that we try and loose weight before the Surgery that it would make it a lot easier on us. So not to just set and wait 6 Weeks think I’ll try and shrink the old liver. One more time the old Will Power Over the Food should be able to remove 15 or 20 lbs before the cut if it even happens this year.

Will take a good look at the New Balance 768. Walking a lot is a little hard for me right now, strained a lower leg tendon real bad a little over a year ago out in the AZ Mountains. But walking is starting to come back. I do swim 5 days a week and do little with the weights.

Genea good to hear for you. Man what a way to spend new years eve recovering from surgery and what a great way to start off the new year. Must be great to be over 1/2 way to goal. sure hope I can also drop some of the Med thats great news with hope. Has it taken long to get up to 4 miles? I am on grandkid patrol this week 8 & 10 today took them to the Fed Res Bank to see where Money is made and Hallmark Cards so they could make some of their own cards. Looks like we must have been some what at the same point when we stared down this road. Yes young is good am working on removing the old goat status myself.

Great news dwrd. Best of luck won't be long and you will get err done. Keep us informed.

Hi Bigrick, Sure would send you a sign up sheet if I could but then some one needs to pay for my retirement might as well be a LB Buddy. Dropped in on your Nervous Sight Congratulation on getting err done. Sorry to here about the we hope short term problems I don't do pain well. You talked Of High Blood Sugar hope it settles soon. Blood Sugar or my Diabetes sure hope the LB will bring down or eliminate mine not sure at all how the LB will bring it down? Well I got a little bummed out today called to make my appt with the dietitian and was told the next appt time was 6 weeks out crap.

Hi Big Rick, You asking to be put out to pasture with the rest of us Old Goats?

Thanks for the input dwrd73 I have no intension of limiting myself to old goat men only. Where am I today have been told the Psychological Evaluation DR. will call soon to make the appt. and when they do call to make an appt with the Dietitian also to go to a Weight Loss Support Meeting. I will go to the next meeting. davidb 51 works for Me having been banded for what 9 Months now sure you have a lot of input Thanks to both of you

Looking for Old Goat Buddies just Banded or in the Process. To share are current struggle with the bulge and hopefully make it work for all of us this time. My definition of an Old Goat is a Male of Retirement age or Older just like ME in pursuit of a heather Body that’s able to wear much smaller clothes. Now about me - 70 years old, 6 foot tall since 16 till I got checked for my BMI they tell me I am only 5’ 11-3/4” BMI 42.2 WGT 309 Top WGT 333 Charts say should be under 170 Wow 190 would sure be nice. Live in Kansas City and working with The Bariatric Center of Kansas City and DR Hoehn For me the thought of possible eliminating My Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, and Reflux. Or at least reducing the Medication would in itself make the Lap Band worth it and Weight Loss well nothing is required to be said for us. As for the Ladies think you are great have three Daughters and a loving Wife for 44 years would just like to try to make this trip with Old Goats First. But if I have to work with Women younger than my Daughters to get err done than that’s what I will do. I will also post this in the Men’s Room if you would like to Buddy with me.
