8 weeks Post OP on a 57 year old woman

Hi there, my name is Katherine. I did my VSG with Dr Aceves in Mexicali Mexico on May 2. I am thrilled with my results so far. I have lost 36 lbs and drum roll please . . . 45 inches OFF my body . . . 8 inches off my waist!!!

My incisions are so small, I can hardly see them...I use wheatgerm oil on them.

I feel great, swim 3 times per week and walk twice a day with my dogs. IF anyone is questioning if they should do the VSG, I say go for it. It will change your life.

And let me mention, I am 57 years old and for those "stinkin thinkin" people who believe that if you are in your 50s or 60s and wanting this surgery and older women dont lose as fast as the younger gals, I say look at me.

AGE does not determine your weightloss blueprint.

Your MIND and your MOUTH will determine how much weight you decide to lose.

Please read my other posts for how I am losing so far, or visit me on my YouTubes at BusinessOfHope.

You are really doing well congratulations!

I am 50 but I feel young - I have alot of living to do - with a 9 year old - I want to live to terrorize everyone until I am least 90!!!!

Hopefully getting my revision within the next 4-6 weeks - BUT thankyou - you have inspired me again.

That's freaking awesome! Work it, lady!
