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? :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
