PS for a young Grammy!



Recommended Posts

I have a way to go before considering PS, but I know already that I will need it!

I'm a young 66 year old grammy of 8, mom of 3. My husband is very much against my having any PS done - he's worried about me having complications! (we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary yesterday!)

Just wanted to know if there is anyone out there in the same age group that has had surgery and - how did you do - what did you do?

Thanks,

Hi! I had my surgery on May 8 of this year. So far I've lost 63 pounds. Next week I'll be a "young" 61. My doctor will only do the lap band surgery for people under 60, so I just made the cut-off. Before going to her, I never thought of a cut-off age. If you get it done, good luck to you.

Laura, I was talking about Plastic Surgery (PS).......I had the lap-band surgery in April of this year - I was 66 at the time of my surgery and have lost 43.5 lbs. Your weight loss is great! I'm jealous, but I'll take what I have and am confident that it will keep going.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
