Over weight and Over 60



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes:Hi,

As listed I am over weight and over 60. Right now I have very few helth issues but if I don't control this over eating that is going to become a problem. I can not change my age but I would very much lick to change the over weight part. I have not willingly had my picture taken for years and I don't make contact with old friends and dread seeing anyone I used to know 10 years or more ago.

I have tried all kinds of diets and stuff but am not willing or able to stick with anything but I am definatly ready to stop living this way and would like to be more sociable and enjoy a lot that I now miss.

I recently had dinner with a friend and she shared with me she had lapband 3 years ago and is very happy with the result. She lives out of state ( I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area). If anyone lives in my area and would like to suggest a doctor to use I would be very grateful. I live near Fort Worth but am willing to travel to Dallas for surgery. I would love to know what most people pay for their surgery I have read on the internet from $9,900 to $15,000 since I will be paying out of pocket I would of coarse like to pay the lowest but that is not alway the best way to go.

Thanks for listening and responding if you can,

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
