Hello everyone.

This is my very first post. I am so happy to have found this site. I am hoping to learn from those that have already had their surgery for personal insights.

I am scheduled for my VSG on Monday April 14th and I am both scared and excited! I know everyone's journey is different, but I was hoping for some personal experiences of ladies that are post-menopause, and to hear your 'story'.

Hello and welcome in. There are quite a few posts from us oldies. If you put over 60's or over 55's in the search box you will get pages and pages from ones who are glad they went ahead. The back pages of this forum go back 20+ years and hold a massive input of knowledge. Plenty to keep you busy while you wait.

I was 62 when I joined the bandwagon and am now living a life beyond my wildest dreams.

Thank you SummerSeeker. I didn't notice the 'search bar' at the top. ?

Hello and welcome! I am also post menopause and was sleeved on Jan 16.

I am losing super slowly, I think it's slower if you're older, it certainly is for me, but it's coming off, I am feeling great 10 weeks out! ?

I need to start some exercise regime, I have never been into exercise really, but I think it's time! ?

Congrats on your decision and fingers crossed you have a wonderful recovery! Give yourself time, follow your plan! ?

Thank you DaisyChainOz
