I am 10 days post-op and doing very well. I am 66 years old. I started this journey 9 months ago. I read and read and read. When I got weak and was going to drop out you all were there for me. I would read your posts and see how well everyone was doing and I would trudge on. If it had not been for you all I would of said forget it. My husband was against it. My kids were behind me but I have 3 boys and they never tried to talk me out of it but they were not there on an everyday basis. It was very scary at my age. I had to go through every test immaginable. I passed them all. Now I am 25 lbs lighter and on my way to a better life.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go. Age is relative. Having self esteem and getting healthy is good for all ages.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
