Welcome and let us know if we can be of any help or if we can answer any of your questions.

Hi Paula,
My name is Penny and I just turned 66. I will be sleeved in August. I'm going into my 4th month of the 6 mo. Requirements. Have all my clearances done except for the endoscopy. Guess the surgeon is going to go ahead and do a colonoscopy at the same time. Then it's just a matter of getting my last 2 nut and support in. I guess I'm a little nervous cause of age and my health problems, but that's why I'm doing it. Hope everything goes well. Keep us posted and I will check back also. Oh, I am from Pa.

Hope all is going as scheduled. Sorry to be replying so late. I will be 65 in August, had my gastric bypass June 2015, coming up on two years. I have lost 150 lbs and kept it off this second year, Siam very pleased. I will be having a tat Jane 30. I think I'm more nervous about this than my initial surgery, but I have to remember I am so much more healthy than I was at 280lb and technically my body is younger than it was.

What is a tat?

Hi out there. It is good to hear from some in my age group. I guess I will still call you all kids as I will be 69 in Oct. Anyway, I am scheduled for an RNY on June 20th. I start my pre-op diet on June 5th. Good luck to all and hope to hear from you as we go through the process of a new lifestyle change.

I believe she is referring to a tattoo

Hi all over 60ers. I finally had my bypass surgery on the 20th. As a matter of fact, I'm just now getting d/fed from the hospital. Just a quick note about my experience so far. You will have some pain, but bearable . The one thing that no one through your entire pre-op training tells you is that you will have a lot of blood in your stool which is very liquidy. Please don't be alarmed like I was. I know this isn't the best topic to discuss, but I wish someone would have told me. The first 4 times I went there was what I thought was a lot of blood. It finally stopped. You will probably feel bloated . Got to go now . I think I'm getting sprung from the hospital. I will follow up with my progress.

Sorry, it wasn't a tat. Don't know where that came out of my 64 year old brain. Anyway, for my 2 year surgiversary, I had a panniculectomy done last Friday, removal of stomach skin. i am so excited about it. Today is only Tuesday and things are going great!

Sorry about "tat"

Hi freelee, what kind of surgery is that and what is the purpose.

Hi out there all you over sixtyers. Today I just started on phase 3 of my program. I had my by-pass done on 6/20/17. Doing well except for a few hick-ups. But today I'm having a scrambled egg and it is heaven, I'm walkin on sun shine. If I could just get past the crushed meds that taste like hell, I'd be almost perfect.

Hi everyone my name is Gloria and I'm having the sleeve done July 19th I'm 65 and I had a lot of concerns about my age but my doctor put that to rest. I hope everybody's doing well please keep in touch.
