    Calling All Sixties!

    Hi all- I am 64 and have been sleeved for almost 6 years. I am currently working on the 20+ lbs I have managed to put on the past 3 years……. it is not easy. I have lost 4 lbs the past 6 wks. But I know progress will be slow. Just retired and moved to Az, getting use to this new life style. I recently developed a "hole" in old c section scar and went to plastic surgeon to see if having some of my skin,etc. removed would help problem. He was no help……… wanted to do a tummy tuck, which insurance would not cover. But am glad to be moving forward and working on weight and health is a life long endeavor. It is hard to find a doctor that will take a patient from another state and this far out from my surgery……… anyone out there in the Tucson area?
  3. I am working on a 25 lbs regain and currently noticed I have a "hole" in my old c section scar. Has anyone had a panniculectomy done? I am on my way to the plastic surgeon after my surgeon, who has been treating my wound, suggested I go. Any help, appreciated

  4. Anyone in the Tucson/Oracle Az area? Would love to meet and share support.
  5. I would love to find local people, since I have just relocated to Arizona and have been off track for some time. Thought of going to weight watchers again, but being a sleeved, things are different now. I just seem to get back on track and have never reached my goal, but have not given up. Hopefully we can connect with people that live close. I am still having trouble understanding how to post on the veteran's forum………...
  6. I am at a loss as to how to get back on track……….. I am over 5 years out and have gained back 30+ lbs, am feeling like a failure. I know I have let the carbs back in big time, and recently found out

      Perhaps Overeaters Anon or a weekly NUT trip for a while to help put u back in the right frame of mind. You can do it.
