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.

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

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
