I've seen a decent number of patients in their 60s get sleeved, even the rare patient in their 70s (never old than that)

I'm curious why the surgeon recommended the sleeve though. Did you not have success with the band?

My Dr didn't say he wouldn't do the sleeve but was more leaning towards by pass . I'm 5' , 68 y/o , COPD, and knees problems . I had and still have the band in sense @07-8 in Mexico . Worked well for most part , went without fills for very long periods of time due to my location , slowly started gaining wt back . Had GI done last yr and there's a small herina next to it . I got uncomfortable with it over time .i don't have dietabetes nor gurd . Hoping to have it done and road to recovery by end of this yr . Started this journey last year but after losing my son in November my life and nearly everything in it STOP . Now I'm trying to move forward and doing this for myself will give me better quality of life . So that's me. Thanks

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
