welcome, welcome, welcome

ahhhhh Betty, nice to meet you

i've been waiting to open the door for you

i was 57 when i was sleeved (almost 5 years ago)

age doesn't matter

determination is what counts

following all the important rules

you'll learn a lot from the boards

other peoples experience, thoughts, words of wisdom

butttttt.... at the end of the day, only listen to your doc or NUT

PO 10 days - you are recovering nicely??

didn't say otherwise

you are starting a healthier, happier, longer life

how wonderful is that!!!

i'm sure you will be another success story :rolleyes:

good luck

kathy

I was sleeved at 67 three years ago. I spent 8 hours in the hospital, and took one pain pill when I got home, and no pain after that. That was on a Monday, and I was walking in the mall four days later. Best thing I ever did for my health!

So happy to hear your experience. I'm 61 and will likely have surgery early December. Several medical issues I hope to better or resolve by doing this.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
