Forgot to mention that I am 60yo. Are there any older gastric sleeve patients out there?

I turn 50 in September and I had my mini gastric bypass this week.

66 yo on March 9, had my sleeve on March 23. I have had no pain (other than some bloating) no nausea, no vomiting. I’m in the full liquids stage of my diet now and have experienced no hunger. I’m starting to wonder if I really had surgery!! But seriously, this is the best decision I’ve ever made (other than marrying my beautiful wife and having my kids). Weighed 299 in January. With pre op diet and surgery I’m now at 245. Energy level is high, stopping some medication, sleeping without bipap.

@mmoffi congrats this is AWESOME! Continued success on your journey.

Hi my name Corine and I’m 51 and I got mine on March 22, 2023 so good so far some people thought I might be too old to get it done but I said no way let’s do it.

@Corine1014 congrats! How many lbs are you down so far?

@rolawre
Since surgery I’m down 15 lbs how about you?

I haven’t yet had it done. Medicare didn’t have to be pre approved but Humana advantage does so my surgery will be on April 24th.

@Corine1014 thats awesome you go???? my surgery date is May 9th

I am almost 74. I had a lapband done in 2009 and did well, but had complications and they took all the saline out in 2012, and finally had the band taken out and getting ready to have the sleeve done sometimes in the last week in March.I remember everything about things to do to prepare and have most of everything ready for the 2 weeks liquid diet before surgery as well for the first 2 weeks post surgery.How soon will I be able to take regular medications post surgery?
Has anyone tried baby food during the purée stage?

Congrats on upcoming surgery. I'm 64 and had the VSG on 2/1/23. I'm doing well. My doctor had no restrictions on when I could take my medications. So I would talk to him/her and check. They started me on mine immediately after surgery in the hospital. I wish you well! xx
