Recommended Posts

I am 10 days post-op and doing very well. I am 66 years old. I started this journey 9 months ago. I read and read and read. When I got weak and was going to drop out you all were there for me. I would read your posts and see how well everyone was doing and I would trudge on. If it had not been for you all I would of said forget it. My husband was against it. My kids were behind me but I have 3 boys and they never tried to talk me out of it but they were not there on an everyday basis. It was very scary at my age. I had to go through every test immaginable. I passed them all. Now I am 25 lbs lighter and on my way to a better life.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go. Age is relative. Having self esteem and getting healthy is good for all ages.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
