I've found since I turned 60 (65 now) it's easier to stay at my goal weight. I rarely feel hunger pains and I guess I eat regularly enough that I don't feel hungry. Christamas Eve we were in a car accident (hit from behind) and after that I started getting stuck more often. I've had my lapband 16 years now and I know what its like to feel stuck, but experience has helped me avoid that. However after the accident, I felt some soreness around the port. Saw my gastric practice and everything checks out fine. I have to wonder if age has started me losing my appetite? Will see my family doctor again soon.

Welcome to getting old!

I doubt this has anything to do with your bariatric surgery. Declining appetite as we get older is really common. in fact it's so common, they coined a term for it called the anorexia of aging. Obviously being really sick can drastically reduce appetite, but even in otherwise healthy people, there are multiple things that lead to appetite reduction. Common things are slowed gastric emptying, hormonal changes and impaired sense of smell and taste. Certain medications can also reduce appetite and since older folks are a lot more likely to be taking these meds, that can also contribute.
