Feeling too old for this procedure. Anybody out there 50+? Halla back.

I’m 52 and was sleeved in October. My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner!! Don’t listen to the naysayers!

I’m 51 and I know I can do this. I think a 70 year old can be successful if they really stick to the plan

I'm 53 and I just had gastric sleeve surgery a month ago. It's never too late to get healthy.

And never too late to be worthwhile, my song🎶 of life is different than many but it's pretty okay. I still can sing 🎤my melody at 73, it's pretty quiet if you're dead in a grave and I found out I don't want to be THERE yet. I woke up with arthritis. hurting but went and got my Carafate for ulcers, Ditropan for bladder spasms and Zofran to keep the nausea down, laid back down after a potty 🚽break, got 2 more hours until my TPN is done, I'll see if my leg pain gets better, if not, I'll pop a couple💊 Tylenol, save the Tramadol and Norco for something more serious. And start to sip my bottle🍶 of Propel, nobody mentioned I would be doing 2 oz☕ cups this far out, but it works out to 8oz per hour, and I'll make my 64 oz today,even if it is in small increments. Snowy snowy here, close to 5 inches, but I didn't plan on doing anything outside anyway. Weighed frolicking in the snow⛄ verses falling, breaking arms, legs, hips, better safe inside than sorrows in the ❄snowdrifts. My bones don't just bend and bruise, they go CRACK and then there is a long 😧healing ahead! No Thank You Very Much!

      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!!

      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!!
