I'll be having surgery in July, not sure of date yet. A little terrified!!! I'm 53 yrs old (live in CA) and think recovery may take longer because I'm over 50 yrs old? I hope I'm wrong. I'm hoping for early July, as the anticipation is rough! Can't wait for it to be here....

Push tosh, I am 72, an ornery spunky redheaded. 72 and I will also have a July date. I will have an RnY at OSU-Wexner Medical Center in Columbus Ohio, no fears whatsoever, all of mine drowned a long time ago in my tears. Now I'm just moving forward , clear eyed , a spring in my step, not easy with 2 knee replacements, and hope in my❤. This is going to be a great wonderous day, indeed it will be my REBIRTHDAY and I hardly can wait!! Recovery may be longer, may be slower but I am a Baby Boomer, we do things with the class our Mamas instilled in us. Our weight,loss can and will be as good as the youngsters. If not, poof, it's still better than dying obese and in pain. I have lived this long and it is my intention to continue . Wanna hang around with me?🌟🚩😝🚩🌟

I turned 50 in March. We can still do this. I am going for Tummy Tuck after. I love the beach and plan on spending time there when this is over. My surgery can't come soon enough!!!

California girl here! I'm scheduled for July 11th and a little nervous as I'll be doing this on my own and in Mexico. Doing a lot of research beforehand so I know what to expect. Trying to prepare myself mentally for pain, nausea and heartburn. Hoping to make surgery buddies here too.

Good luck and good health to all of us!

Me too. The more you read on what to expect, the better. I've been following and reading several previous patients stories and write down important details and questions I should ask. I think that's important with every surgery.

Mdarnell, Start that diet back. Drink alot of Water to flush out the bad things you ate. I need to get back to lots of water myself. I have to watch what I am eating not to gain weight before surgery. I have NO pre op diet to follow. Its not required

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
