The 56 Bypass 82 Posted December 7, 2018 I'm noticing more young women getting surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else had it in 50 or 60s and how you did? Hi Pam, I'm having bypass on December 26.

Zebby67 43 Posted December 16, 2018 I just had my surgery last Monday December 10th. I am 51 and I had lots of concerns and questions but never was I too old. In the scheme of things I am doing well. The first few days were the worse. The surgical gas really does a number on you. I walked and walked thankfully after 3 days I was able to start getting relief. Good luck on your own day. Remember a lot of people have similar experiences but everyone is different in some way.

Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile appI agree that everyone is different. I knew about the gas pain. Well had been told it was possible. Thought I had lucked out then Bam! It was there. I am so glad that it did not last long and wasn't any worse than it was. Ever since except feeling hungry I am doing good. One week in see the doctor today for my one week check up.

Take care of yourselfSent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile appThank you and please take care as well. I think possibly that my stomach shell is toughened from other full openings. C-section, gallbladder, and tubal. All that may have made the area tougher. Just a guess. Yesterday was a sore feeling day, like I had done too many sit ups . We are going to do much better going forward i am sure. Best wishes.
