It may be because people my age (72) aren't into electronic social media that I don't see many reports/stories of geriatric bariatrics!?!

I finally received my LSG surgery date today; Feb 13th. I' m ready physically, mentally and emotionally but I really like to hear from some "sleevers" close to my age as to how they faired through the pre and post period as well as the surgery itself.

Hello there, I am 67, my husband 66. Good for you, we are still kicking and want a good quality of life, right! We had a rough year with health problems, and 10 years of weight loss seminars kick started us in the butt in June this year. It was now or never as our health worsened. We have hope. We have a good like, and it can only get better. Already both of us are off some meds, and feeling so much better.

Would love to follow your journey and you can message me anytime for questions and will be happy to be friends! Let me know how I can help you!

Thanks for your reply, Linda. Looks like you and I are the only sleevers over 65? Or, the only cyber-savy seniors? :-)

Hello

I am 71 and scheduled to be sleeved on Feb. 4. Glad to see I'm not the only old fart wanting to get healthier!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
