Where is everyone from City & State



Recommended Posts

Hi!
Syracuse NY here. My insurance requires 5 month wait for surgery but it could be expedited with serious medical need. I wonder, after reading a lot of these replies if anyone is like me & changing their mind every single day!!?? I am mostly terrified of the few days after surgery where everyone says they feel so bad. And then, if I go through all of this & totally regret my decision!
But I’m 62 years old, diabetic, sleep apnea, 2nd herniated disc, bad knees, depression- so this should be a no brainer, right? I mean, a few days of feeling awful & getting sick if I blow it should be better than what I will be dealing with if I don’t lose the weight - heart attack, stroke, amputations, inability to function! So why can’t I just make up my mind??

Is anyone else feeling this way?

@churchlady2 come visit us on the over 50 thread, there's a lot of us wondering if it's too late for a step like this-and it isn't. We deserve a better quality of life just like the young-ins. I'm in Central Ohio and have lived my whole life in a 60 mile radius of here. Will have my RNY at Mount Carmel in Columbus within a few months, requirments getting finished and then on the schedule. I was 72 December 26th so you aren't the oldest on here. You're very welcome to our Bari-family. Hope yours will be good for you.

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
