Hi NanaABC. Thanks for your response. We have to stick together. I live in Maryland

Hi. I just wanted to share. I have list ,70 pounds since Feb. 2017. My Dr thinks I should have lost more. I have 30 more to lose. But I am 67 years old and am OK with what I have lost. I did this for health and not for looks. Hang in there. IT'S NOT EASY!

Hi Patrick. I am ,z67 and had the sleeve 6 months ago. I ended up with blood clots in my intestine one month after surgery and had three feet of intestine removed March 7, 2017. To this day I have explosive diarrhea sometimes as much as 10 times a day. The gastro Dr can't figure out why. He put me on a steroid and that has slowed it down some to 4-6 times a day. I am miserable most of the time and while I am glad I had the sleeve surgery I have been sick and in pain every day since Feb. 7,2027. This is the first time I have ever posted this info about my issues. Thank you for letting me vent. Good luck to you and by the way I was never like this prior to my surgery so I don't think I agree that it has to do with age. Sent from my TM101A620M using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone. I just turned 67 last week and have been sleeved 6 months. I have lost 60 pounds and still have 40 to go. I have slowed down a lot but if I'm being honest I know that I'm not always doing the right things. I'm not able to exercise like a younger person due to both knees replaced, 3 major back surgeries with hardware and fusions and arthritis in general. I feel so much better already but I know when I see my Dr next month she will be disappointed that I haven't lost more. I've read some of the tips and I am going to make every effort to get back on track. Thanks for letting me vent and good luck to all! Sent from my TM101A620M using BariatricPal mobile app
