Where are the 50's??? -- all I see is a topic about wrinkles! How has the surgery changed your life?

Hi I am 57 and had the sleeve December 5. I have lost 30 lbs and been stalled and frustrated. Also had a severe case of vertigo last Thursday which might be caused by dehydration. Ever heard of this?

Yes. I got dizzy in the first few months post op. I was careful to get enough fluids so it wasn't that. I think its pretty common post op. Do be careful to get the fluids in. If you are taking blood pressure meds, they should be evaluated again.

Yes be sure you get your fluids in and stick with the program. Its easy to get frustrated so don't get side tracked on your diet, for you its only been December , you are probably losing girth , the weight will come off. I heard that if you shake your head and tilt it to the side it breaks up the salt build up in cochlea which may cause vertigo , I'm not sure on this but i read it somewhere. So I would bring this up to your Doctor. Relax weight will come off

Did everyone just give up?

Is 50 the new 150?

I'm not sure.. I thought it was for people in there 50's even if I feel like I'm in my twenties after losing 224lbs

Nope, I haven't given up or given in!

I intend to wreak even more havoc now that people see me again, even though I am in my 50s.... :-)))))
