Best of luck to you! There are plenty of people having gastric bypass after 50. You'll do great :)

HI @@Jazziejt

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE ASKING ME LOL BUT I'M DOING GREAT. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE ENERGY AND JUST GENERALLY FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. MY CARDIOLOGIST TOOK ME OFF OF 4 pills AND REDUCE 1 DOWN TO 50% OF WHAT I WAS TAKING. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I EVER MADE.

HEY @@StabMyFinger HOW'S IT GOING FOR YOU SINCE THE SURGERY?

I just got my date: December 1. I'm 61, and very excited about this new "tool" I will have in my life-long weight struggle. But I'm also fearful of the surgery, complications, and my reliance on food for comfort. I think I'll struggle with the "head hunger" part of it. But i am excited!

I am 60, surgery was this year August, 2015 this was the best decision I ever made. I am one of the those people who need a wake up call. I am more aware of understanding how and what kind of foods that work with my body. This is a life changing surgery for me. I am really excited about reaching my weight goal of 140, the doc say 160. I want to say congrats to anyone that has made this decision to have surgery.

      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!
