I had mine on June 15th. Had issues with the spleen. The bypass has healed good. I have lost 54lbs as of today! But I have been sick from the spleen.

I had surgery a year ago. I am down 134 lbs no longer diabetic. I no longer have sleep apnea and feel great. I am 54 years old but feel great. I started a blog lovemypouch.com

Hello I'm 54 years old and I am supposed to have my surgery in June 2016. Not sure what to expect. I don't have anyone to talk too or no support. Can I get a friend please.

Welcome to both of you. I HIGHLY recommend you read this site. There is a ton of information here. Once you have read a good bit, feel free to post specific questions. It usually helps to start a thread with a title for your specific question so it is easy to find. You will get more answers that way.

I also recommend you write everything down (if you memory is anything like mine, it helps to record everything). Keep a running list of questions for your surgeon and bariatric team. They will also probably give you a notebook or binder. If not, you will want to get one to keep all of the paperwork handy.

Be prepared to practice polite persistence, patience, perseverance, and positivity.

Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I'm 60 and had gastric bypass on Apr-13-2016. You are never too old and we certainly had to go through many tests to get approved for procedure.
