    Swimming -- wow!

    I'm new to this site, but I wanted to jump in here to say: WOW! I am so impressed with all your weight losses & exersize efforts. I am 62, so, I'm in another class, ugh, but I to swim, (if you want to call it that) I also do arthritis water arobics. I was going to a theropy pool in the little town in Ky,where we live, for $20. a month. My DH just got transferred to Ga for a year. I'm now going to the Y. I'm thankful it's here & close by, but I miss my friends back home. I was banded 4/17/07. I have lost about 35#. (haven't been weighed for a month) It really seems to be going slow, but I have to consider my age. All in all, I am smaller then I was a year ago, & have muscles that I haven't seen in years. :>) Bottom line:Keep on swimming; keep on loosing. :>)

    A place for bandsters in their 60's

    <p>I ,too, have problems with getting too hungry & controlling my eating when I do. After 60 years of eating any way I wanted to , it's been really hard to change my ways. Old dog, new tricks....</p> <p>The worse time was when Hubby took me to Apalathchacola for a w/e vacation. We waited until night to eat. I was way too hungry. We found a cafe on the beach at sunset; live music, the works. Everything was perfect. I ate 3 shrimp, & frothed for 30 minutes. Not a very pretty ending to a perfect day.</p> <p>I have never vomited; I only froth. Neither do I berp. I think this is from the hernia they repaired w/ I got my band. But, no one seems to know for sure. So, when I eat something that don't agree we my band, I am in trouble. I have no way of getting any relief. Believe me, sometimes the pain is so bad I just want to die. But, it only last about 10 minutes. TG</p> <p>I would like to hear from anyone else who has these problems.</p> <p>Good luck to all.</p> <p>Judyfay</p>

    A place for bandsters in their 60's

    Hello..:ranger: I too had a large hernia. That was never addressed by anyone, before or after the surgery. I believe that is part of my problems. I hate that I never got to see the sergon again after I left the hospital. My band was too tight from the day of surgery. 4 months out, I only have 1.2 in a 4cc band. I had to have a reduction once. I have so much trouble getting solid food; meat, down. Sometimes I have to do puree &/or liquids. I am loosing very slowly. I exersize 5 days a week. I NEVER cheat. I am hungry. I am NOT happy with this band. They made it sound so easy. It took me 2 years to get things arranged so I could have the procedure, & now I'm dissapointed. I really need some encouragement. I would be pleased to be your buddy Judy:)

    I'm so very glad to find this page. I'm 62, got my band 4/17/07. I just moved from Ky to Ga. I need all the support I can get. I have had problems with the band from day 1. I need people, my age, who might understand & can give me some advice, & TLC. :help: So, "hello everyone. Glad to see you here. :clap2:Judyfay
