I had not had popcorn since my WLS, but had a small portion yesterday while watching the Superbowl. Not going to make it a habit, though.

I'm from MA originally but live in CA for the last 16 years. I am 61 and had VSG surgery in November. I'm down 80 lbs. so far, so yes, VSG is definitely in the cards for us over-60 folks.

What percentage of people gain the weight back ?
bigbit replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm looking at the OP's posted stats, and I am pretty surprised that someone with a starting weight of 185 and a goal weight of 150 got sleeve surgery in the first place... Is there something I'm missing here? -
I'm 61, was sleeved on 11/3/15, and have lost 66 lbs. so far... Nothing to complain about yet, and delighted wth my progress.

Any Second Thoughts while on pre-op Diet?
bigbit replied to tcshrink's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My only second thoughts during the pre-op diet were, "Hey, you're losing a lot of weight on this diet - do you really need the surgery?" Then I realized I would still need to deal with hunger issues, so I went forward with the operation. -
Why sleeve and not bypass?
bigbit replied to seaniepoohbear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have two chronic conditions for which medication is essential to my well being, so could not have a procedure where the result would cause malabsorption. It was the sleeve or nothing for me. -

bigbit replied to Robin Leighbuchanan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I believe it is normal. I started my pre-op diet on 10/14 and had surgery on 11/2 and I am down 52 pounds already. Do keep in mind that everybody responds differently, but your rate sounds normal but on the high end. -
