Hi,I'm 65. Had the sleeve done 12/19 this yr. I had stomach problems all the way through. I discovered my stomach flora is too acidic since my surgery and I'm doing everything I can for it at present. I'm on a probiotic and I just read the book, "60 Seconds to Slim". It tells you all the things you need to eat to reduce acid, lose weight and the proper nutrition necessary for weight loss. These days I'm feeling better and losing weight is now easy. I've lost 70 lbs. so far, only have to lose another 150 lbs. As you see, this is a life altering process. The good side is that I have been writing to an old flame of 50 years ago and he wants to go out with me, and he's seen my picture too. How do you like that?

I am 60 and had the sleeve done Apr 15 2013. I have had no problems and only spent 36 hrs in the hospital. I went off meds when I got home so I could drive. I have lost 31 lbs since I started my pre op diet 7 weeks ago. I haven't lost as fast as some people but I have gone from 274 to 243 and I am feeling so positive that this will work.

Hi! I'm 51 and scheduled for surgery on July 24. I've been researching and planning for this for over a year.

Wow, very inspirational! I'm loving thIs! So happy to hear from everyone and to know all are doing so great!

I'm just starting my process now, but my son is already scheduled for his very soon. Can't wait till I have a date set for myself. My insurance does cover the procedure; although, I will be responsible for a co-pay. Also, I don't think I'll have to do much more than just a psych visit, everything else has been done and my doctor can forward that documentation and submit for pre-authorization soon.

You all have had great success, I hope I have the same. Looking forward to hearing from more 50+ VSG's. Thank you for the site link where all are hanging out! I'll be checking it out soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
