I am 61 -- going to meet the Weight Loss Surgery Group in a seminar tomorrow morning at St. Vincent's in Birmingham, AL --- Drs. Miles & Schmitt.
I have battled weight for many years and want to do something for myself. I am 5'5" and 201 pounds---small bones. I should weigh between 125 -130, so losing 75-80 pounds would be my goal. The gastric sleeve would be my choice. I will be a self-pay. It is really wonderful to see that other persons over 55 have undertaken this journey. You are very encouraging. If the doctors would approve me tomorrow, I would walk into the operating room! Are there any others who have had surgery performed by Dr. Les Miles or Dr. Lee Schmitt in Birmingham?
