Hi, My name is Patty. I'm almost 53. Sleeved 12-28 and I had no issues at all. I woke up in recovery in shock that I felt no pain and I never did. I never used any pains pills. I hope the same for you. I weighed 287 and now weigh 270. It's amazing and wished I could have done this years ago.

I'm 52. 5'7" my highest weight was 287. I was on a 6 month program for my insurance and I lost 20lbs. I live in WV. Currently starving on this liquid diet lol. But I've proven to myself that I can do it. I've turned down food offered to me in my face from people who don't know I'm fasting. So pretty good I think. :)

I'm nervous about getting nauseous and throwing up after surgery. I'm a big baby when it comes to getting sick. Lol

Hi Connie, I am 55 from Arizona. Had VSG in December and have lost 21 pounds. It's been pretty easy so far. Went back to work after 3 weeks. You will do great!

I am 6 days post op now.

Belly grumbles all the time. When I drink any amount, it gets a sharp pain for 30 seconds. That happens so often. I don't think it's normal. I don't get nauseous though. Still walking very slowly
