Looking for 60+ year young VSG



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm 62 years young and scheduled for VSG on June 24. Wondering how it has been for others this age! Problems with recovery, skin, metabolism, etc.

Right now I have very very few wrinkles but worried that once I lose my chubbiness they'll appear! Would love to hear from others :)

hi there,

my first post! I am 61 and have been researching wls for over 8 years, at least. i am so glad i waited,as now there are more options than before, that seem possible and more what i am interested in. i am very interested in vsg and would love to be in touch with you, nina51, in order to keep posted on your journey. I have decided to go to Mexico, but my main issue will be coverage after care, as at this moment i am uninsured and i think this would be very important before i go.

i wish you all the best with your surgery... where will you go for your surgery and is it covered by your insurance? please keep posting here, as I really want to hear your story.

I was 59 when I had my surgery 10 months ago. I am now at goal and have lost over 100lbs. Yes saggy skin, yes wrinkles but no fibromyalgia, no aching knees and little chance of developing the diabetes that both of my parents had. My husband still loves me, saggy skin and all ! I feel great and have more energy and better health. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Go for it and best of luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
