I constantly run into Sleevers in their 50s and 60s but I would love to get to know some of you who are bypassers. Seems our life experiences and potential difficulties may make us good support for each other! (You know, little things like menopause, arthritis, etc...). Please come out of "hiding" and gather here. I need to see yall in action! And would love to support you as well!

I'm 52 and two weeks post op

I'm 50 and scheduled for November 30th! If my insurance would have covered WLS prior to this year, I'd have gotten it done much sooner. Now it's finally going to happen!

I'm 58 had RNY Aug 15, 16. I have lost 42 pounds so far. I have not had problems with vomiting. I recommend following the diet close while your pouch heals. You will have no regrets. I'm off most all my meds. I just take a small dose of blood pressure med. and my anti depression. Hope I can get off all of then in the months to come.

Hi everyone! I'm 52 years old and my RNY is scheduled for October 18th at Mayo Clinic - Rochester MN!

I'm a soon to be 52 year old woman. Had bypass in July 2012 and met my individual goal, but not the doctors goal. I play with 10 pounds up and down. Want the support. I am now going thru menopause and many life changes. Let's connect. I like in Pittsburgh

Not 50 yet, but just had a band to bypass revision and hoping to reach my goal by my 50th birthday just over a year from now.

I am a 49 YO (I will be 50 in February 2017) kangaroo (I have a pouch). My RNY surgery was 20 October 2016. Not much pain and I am on soft foods. Today is my first day back to work since my surgery.

55 and have the revision from sleeve to bypass on 11/7 feel great. Port removal tomorrow nervous about that and of course constipated. Sorry TMI but so happy about new life.

@@choosehope Yay - ladies my age! I'll turn 54 next month. I had bypass 4/21/15 and had my 5 month anniversary this past Monday. I took pics and will share them with y'all. As hard as it was to take those "before" pics, I'm so glad I did. I took pics in three different outfits. I took them again at 3 months and now at 5 since I hit a personal goal of "75 lbs" lost. I can't believe how that once tight 3X now hangs on me. It was my son's suggestion to hold my shirt out to show the difference. The black outfit is a size "L". Haven't been in regular size clothes in years. I have hit stalls along the way after my surgery but have upped my Protein to average an of 125 grams, keeping within my 850 calorie goal, so that seems to be doing the trick. I've been battling obesity for 30+ years so I will take my success and be happy with it as I feel blessed to have had this life changing operation. It's my second chance at life and I will NOT squander it!!!
