Before and after in your sixties



Recommended Posts

Here is my before and 6 month post-op photographs. It is interesting what 6 months can do. I was around 65 years old when I had the operation. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Operation.jpg

Do I count as I'm 59 and a half? If I do (I'm not waiting for an answer as I'm sure being four months away from my six ooooohhhhhh.....won't matter too much) here's a couple of pics.

This reminds me to get some "before" pictures before surgery next Tuesday. I avoid the camera almost completely and use photo shop when I do. Sounds familiar?

You're not in your sixties though! But you look GREAT. Keep it up, or should I say down.

Thanks Celeste !

I am certainly over the 60 mark and 61 as well. I do feel better than my 50's though!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
