I turned 62 in August and had the sleeve on September 29. I have multiple health problems including MS. So far, so good. Beginning the 1st week in September when I started my pre-op diet I have lost 26 lbs.

I have just joined and are beginning this journey. All i have done is go to a bariatric seminar. I couldn't find a doctor willing to take medicare. I appreciate all the encouraging posts. Twenty years ago my doctor strongly suggested weight loss surgery. I "chickened" out at the last minute. Now I am 68 years old, 60 lbs heavier and have many additional health issues.

I am in pain, use oxygen, and cant do anything.

I'm excited to start this journey!

I have 2 more Dr. visits to go before they send it in to my insurance I have done everything they said I hope it all goes good,. I am so tired hurting, and everything else that goes along with the obesity BMI is 36 can't wait I know it won't be easy. But I know I can do it.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
