Hiiiii! Just post op from October 1st. I know this is a marathon, not a sprint but would like to hear any stories of women over 40 and their experience with the rate of loss following bypass/RNY.n I feel it will help motivate me. Thank you very much

Definitely interested in this thread. My rny is next week and I've also wondered about how fast you lose. I started at 330 (highest was 376 years ago) three weeks ago. I'm at 310 now so 20 lbs down on liquid diet. I'm also 42 and about 5'3" tall. I worry about loose skin simply because I already have some. But I worry more about not ever being able to do things I want to do.

Hi! I am a 54 year old female and I had my bypass in April of 2019. I started at 224 and I weighed 150 by October. I’m down to 141 now because I increased calorie intake and weight loss slowed down. Which in fact I like, it’s giving my brain time to “catch up” to my weight loss. Good luck on your journey!

Hi! I’m 46, female and 5’ 4”. Like the OP, I also have PCOS. 
RNY Bypass Surgery: 4/12/19
Highest weight: 278
Surgery weight: 263
Current weight: 168
Goal weight: 135 but I’d be pretty happy with 145.

Best of luck with your surgery. My only regret these days is that I wish that I would have done this sooner!

Great topic-thanks! I go in on 2/14/20 for my Bypass and heading to Mexico-Dr Juan Lopez Corvala. I am a little nervous but mostly excited. I am starting about 298 and 5"5.5 so I am anxious to see some of this weight off before I turn 50 in August. Keep the comments coming-great motivation for us!
