I am 67 and scheduled to have surgery on Jan 16. Anyone else over 65 having surgery in Jan? Been thinking about this for awhile and think I am ready for change for good in this weight struggle.

Best of luck to a fellow senior. Proud of you,taking control. You got this!

Good luck on your surgery. You will do great. You have got this!

Could it just ne to soon? My nutritionist said no red meat for at least 6 months. Is that normal. Love Egg Foo Young. Was that one of foods that bothered you. I heard everyone is different. No surgery hear yet. Probably Dec.

On 3rd month towards gastric sleeve. 1 more Family Dr visit.,then surgeon Nov 26. Waiting for EEG results. At 67 scary journey but journey that’s long overdue. 34# down in 3 months.

Hope all goes well. You sound so strong and confident

YesYes back to soup and tuna will make you feel back to normal. Eating with family important I think.

Thanks. Have to admit am concerned but am looking forward to better mobility. Years of working in kitchens on cement floors and arthritis have taken their toll. Weight has to come off. Have things to do,places to go lol. Not looking forward to hospital stay. Surgeon says 1 day. Did you have lots of discomfort? Able to get around and function after few days? I know we need to move immediately and walk but how about normal activities. A friend had and made it seem like nothing but she’s a lot younger .

It is scary. Waiting on sleeve surgery here. Friend that had just acts like surgery no big deal. I disagree,it’s a huge step. when is your surgery

I thought they follow you for 5 years. I am pre op but this is what my surgeon told me. He is certainly not a caring supportive Dr. Can you transfer to another’s/

Are you doing ok?

Wow awesome job
