Reaching out to any seniors over seventy

Good morning all,

Would love to connect with any seniors over seventy who are traveling this road. There's probably not a lot of us.

For sure, our journeys will differ due to our advanced age. Personally, am not quite two months post-op, but I must say I feel great!

Let me know how you're doing, and if there are any issues you need help with.

Hope to talk to you soon.

Hugs,

Jodi

Hey calling all seniors who have had the surgery or are awaiting surgery...

I am over 2 yr. post-op and loving life.... I am 73 and am so glad for a surgeon who didn't look at my age. I lost 100 pounds and could lose another 20, but if I never do....no problem...

I do find that I need to remind myself to take my vitamins, and I'm terrible about getting enough protein, so am a terrible role model.

I am sure about one thing.....best decision I ever made. My PCP wasn't even supportive of me having the surgery. Glad I didn't listen to her....

Would love to hear from anyone needing support of any form.......

You're all on the right path.....

It's always a struggle to get all the Protein & water but I can really tell when I don't get the protein - definite loss of energy. I use the 3+3 vitamins & my blood work has remained optimal.

Hi everyone! I will be 70 in September so I will go ahead and join your group. Sounds like a good bunch of folks here. I am 5 months outh. Had RNY Nov 1, 2016 at Viera Hospital, Dr. Allison. I have been very happy with the results. I have not been losing lately but I know it's my own fault.
