No One In The Sixties?

I'm 66 and surgery date 2/26. I'm type 2 diabetic and doing this for grandkids, get off meds, and myself. I have been out of pocket $850 since 1/1 for meds. That is my part after ins. The surgery will pay for itself. BTW Medicare pays for this. I had to pay the surgeon out of my pocket, but that's because he doesn't file Medicare due to their low pay.

It's been 2 months since surgery and meds bill down from $200 to just thirty five a month. Lost 65lbs so far. Great thing is I can keep up with kids.

Hi all boomers. I am 61 and am soooooo happy to see others my age on here. I started at 244 and lost 34 lbs so far. RNY was on 1/28/13. I'm slowly learning my new pouch and on soft foods now. I'm from West Chester, Ohio (north of Cincinnati)

Where are all you baby boomers? I had surgery on 9/24...two weeks ago. Down 40 before surgery...20 after...60 total. I did lots of prep before surgery (exercise...lean green diet 3 months...immense amount of research) . So glad i did...sailed through surgery and in only 2 weeks feeling great! We baby boomers are tough. I still have 100 lbs to go but have a new lease on life...never too old to learn...look out to my grandkids...her comes a new granny...lucky if you can keep up with her!

I had surgery on 5/29 at 60. 56 pounds down and around 50 to go. My grandchildren are getting a new grandma. This week finally below 200 for the first time in 30 years. I would rather spend my remaining 30-40 years in good health!

You motivate me. Many blessings

Way to go its good to hear all the people that are around my age are choosing like me to live longer

Hi All: I am age 59 and will be 60 August, 2013. My RNY surgery was March, 2013 in Indianapolis, IN, at St. Francis Hospital. Looks like this group may be the best fit for me. :)

Thanks momlambert, I'm doing good, except problems with taking some of the Vitamins and Protein supplement powders, eating and super-sensitive to smells.

      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! 😞
