I'm 58, 3 Months Post Op, And Very Happy With My Sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Glad to hear you are doing well! I am also 58 and had my sleeve 2 weeks ago. At the beginning I wondered what a woman MY age was doing here. Your post gave me inspiration. I guess it is NOT when you sleeve, but that you DO sleeve!

Hi Ladies. It is nice to see some posters over 50 (age not BMI). I am not sleeved yet but my op is booked for 3 April. I won't use numbers for the date because as you can see from my username I am in the UK and we write our dates the other way round so 3 april is 3/4/12 which I believe for you reads 4 March 12. It causes me great confusion when I am reading posts. Anyway I will be 53 when I have my op. I am very calm about it all at the moment but no doubt the nerves will kick in closer to the time. Sleeves and wraps are not so common here in the UK yet though the sleeve market is growing. That is why I follow a US forum as there are more people giving feedback. I am a self funder as bariatric surgery is very limited (on the nhs) in the UK and usually you need a BMI of 50 to be considered or have health issues. My BMI is 43 and I did not want to put more weight on just to get in the maybe line. This is my first post but I have been looking for a month or so. Cathy

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
