I was 58 when I had the surgery!

I was 59 when I had bypass surgery; this was a little over 4 years ago. I'm down approx 150-160 lbs from a high of 390. Staying steady -- :O)

There is absolutely nothing wrong. Stalls are normal and discouraging! Hang in there! I'm 52 and had a RNY revision from a sleeve. My loss is definitely slower than when I had the sleeve. My doc says that age and being a revision definitely plays a part in seeing slower weight loss. It WILL come off if you follow your plan.

I'm 52 years

RNY revision on March 12 nearly 8 weeks out

I stalled for a full 2.5 weeks starting on week 2! I cried daily after the first week! Doc said that it was because I was starving at only 300 calories per day and that the loss would start when I was able to add more foods. It did...my loss is slow and steady and I only weigh once per week.

Surgery weight: 235

Current weight: 210

Omg CindeeAt, I had exactly the same experience as you. Once I hit 6 weeks out it started coming off slowly again. It IS the most frustrating thing I’ve dealt with. But if you follow your surgeon/nutritionist ‘s guidelines your body catch up!!!

I’ll be 54 in June
I had my RNY a week ago today! I feel great! Everything I feared was for nothing. I was prepared for the worst, but got the best. So angry at myself for not doing this sooner.
I’m type 2 diabetic. Was on a pump. Came home without the pump, BP meds at 1/2, and no other diabetes meds or cholesterol meds!!

I'm noticing more young women getting surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else had it in 50 or 60s and how you did?

I'm 59..RNY 4 mos ago

I'm not looking so much for a perfect life with happy days as much as a happy life with perfect days. See if you might agree!
