65 and paying myself after settlement. scary. tell me its worth it and encourage again please.

I am 58 and yo-yo'ed most of my adult life. Due to health realities, decided to get the sleeve to enjoy my grandkids for a longer time and to reduce the pain on my joints. Almost 3 months since

surgery and no regrets. Both of my sons have had sleeves and great results. I feel the risks are

worth the rewards. YES, I hate going out to eat because of the small amount I can eat, but a small, small price to pay for the results I get. Good luck to you and only you can decide the path that is right for you.

if not now, to enjoy greater health for the rest of your life, then when? if you have family you will enjoy them more. I have a grandboy - he is 1 - I want to be active with him. if you don't have people close and you rely on yourself to take care of your life, then this would still help you to be able to do that longer.

I am almost 3 weeks out. nothing else has ever resulted in permanent weight loss for me. I am excited about this opportunity.

update, ty all, paid in full today. full steam ahead on the 21st.

Glad to hear you are moving forward. It was the best decision that I ever made for myself. Good luck!

I want a permanent win this time. I got down twice to 220 during 2 divorces but couldn't stay. a lot of us don't even know how good we really look. livvsmum is pretty but who would know without this procedure. I hope more don't listen to the bad half of the population who run this down. to many hear of one person having a problem and forget about the 99.9 who didn't. thanks for backing me. I have prayed to jesus about it, studied it and I believe ill be ok luv yall and thank you. hoot temple

Hoot temple good luck! My mom is 66 and she is in the operating room as I type this. I had it done last August and it was the best thing I've done for myself! I'm down 100lbs and couldn't be happier.

Hoot temple - I hope your surgery went well yesterday. My mom is doing great, had a very large hiatal hernia repaired at the same time as her sleeve surgery. She texted me at 5 AM this morning that she is ready to come home! Hopefully she can come home tonight.

got it done. went home the next evening. cant tell if this burning in my stomach is pain or hunger. delaudid helps it, but jello helps too for a smaller amount of time. if you know from experience please reply.

It is pain from surgery. By now you know it is significant. For about 30 days after surgery, I was miserable. I am 1.5 years out now and am so thankful I had the opportunity for surgery. It saved me. I am 58.
