I am so excited. I got my referral from my pcp this morning. Going to seminar the 25th. I am so ready to get some help with all these chronic health problems. After all my research, my biggest concern is my age. I am 65, but maybe I will feel younger once I feel better and not like pillsbury dough girl. This cold has really been getting worse, along with the diabetes. Will be on here to share my trip and share yours with you. :)

@@sissiegirl

if you check my signature below

i was almost a 58 years OLD fart DOS

i am now 63 years YOUNG :rolleyes:

i feel healthier and happier!!

many of your health issues will improve

others will completely disappear!!

ie high blood pressure, diabetes

knees, walking etc should improve too

don't worry about your age

your as young as you feel, right??

as you lose weight you will feel better too

FYI/suggestion

keep a journal/blog with everything good and bad :rolleyes:

you experience pre-op and post-pos

do as i say, not as as I do LOL

also take your measurements

period transformation pictures (monthly etc)

and of course keep track of your weight

your excitement/joy shines through my monitor

looking forward to hearing about your journey

good luck

kathy

Thanks for your reply Kathy. I haven't seen many on here my age. I am just so excited to start. Yes, I actually have to have MRI tomorrow. My knees are killing me, but they said it's coming from 3 ruptured discs in my back and not really my knees. Oh yes, I will probably document everything. Like today, I have been off and on here all day soaking up info. Plus get rid of the shots and all these pills. Sometimes I think they make you sick when there's so many. I will keep in touch as I go along. You too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
