I founder out about this vBloc therapy. Look into it. It is about blocking hunger pangs using electronics, sorta like a pacemaker. WTF? What does anybody know about vBloc? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

How do you feel about having doubts about getting the surgery, preop wise? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

Yea..thanks. As it becomes more possible, it also becomes more fighting. Tough to stay positive, and I really, really thank you all for your support. My wife fell down a few nights back. Touch and go for a few hours, but she's gonna be OK. , When our own mortality slaps you in the face like that, you begin to question, and be afraid of everything.

My spouse is a dear, fully supporting me in my efforts to get healthy again. Here in MA it is about 20 degrees out. Biting cold. Well, I got a nice fire going on in the backyard and invited her to join me! No too cold she said. Ok so I'll enjoy it while you watch TV. I went in the house just now, she hugged me and said, "I should have come out, that was awfully nice of you." Awe, I truly love that girl. I went back out and she just called me in because she was making a nice supper for me. M mmmm! Potatoe Soup with bacon and onions. Bread sticks on the side! I do love that girl, but we've quite a ways to go VSG wise....???? Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon says her older patients often do much better than the younger ones who are much more likely to resist properly following both her pre op and post op eating requirements, etc. Older people in her experience follow her orders and often do much better. They are more likely motivated by health concerns rather than appearance. As I read the forums here I often remember what she said. When people say things like "I'm 3 weeks out and sick of purées, can I eat (fill in the blank) " I often wonder how old they are lol. Don't know whether it's true but my own experience seems to confirm it. You are talking about maturity I believe. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I will be 60 in Feb, getting VSG in July. It rather scares me that some people want gastric bypass surgery at such a young age. IMHO, 22 is just too young. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App
