Glad to hear it. I have hip pain but never had it evaluated. Figure just too much weight on them. Keep us posted on your progress.

My joints have been bad since high school and I have other chronic pain issues. This will definitely make it easier to get around.

I go to acoustic music festivals in the summer and need to be able to do a lot of walking. I need to be hauling instruments not hobbling about on a walker. :wub:

I am 59. I had a revision surgery from sleeve to gb on 1/17/13. I am losing slowing but am considered "lite weight". I am four weeks out tomorrow and have only lost 13 lbs but I am losing. It was a challenge going through menopause, hysterectomy, breast cancer, etc. I asked to have revision as I continued to struggle with my sugar addictions. I feel like I am back on track. Getting enough Protein in per day takes commitment.

Welcome everyone! Glad to see some of us baby boomers taking charge of our lives. My surgery was 12-10-12 and I'm beginning to feel really good. Not setting any weight loss records but have lost almost 40 lbs so I'm going the right direction. Hope everyone with recent and upcoming surgeries is doing well. Keep us posted!

My surgery is still coming. I'm close now though. I have blood tests and then see the surgeon!! Hopefully will have surgery by May. It seems to take forever between appointments.

I'm 52 and my surgery date is 2/26. Wish I had done it ten years ago when I first checked it out. But now is the time. It was so much harder to get insurance approval back then.
