65 to 75'ers Check In - Please

It may be because people my age (72) aren't into electronic social media that I don't see many reports/stories of geriatric bariatrics!?!

I finally received my LSG surgery date today; Feb 13th. I' m ready physically, mentally and emotionally but I really like to hear from some "sleevers" close to my age as to how they faired through the pre and post period as well as the surgery itself.

Hello there, I am 67, my husband 66. Good for you, we are still kicking and want a good quality of life, right! We had a rough year with health problems, and 10 years of weight loss seminars kick started us in the butt in June this year. It was now or never as our health worsened. We have hope. We have a good like, and it can only get better. Already both of us are off some meds, and feeling so much better.

Would love to follow your journey and you can message me anytime for questions and will be happy to be friends! Let me know how I can help you!

Thanks for your reply, Linda. Looks like you and I are the only sleevers over 65? Or, the only cyber-savy seniors? :-)

Hello

I am 71 and scheduled to be sleeved on Feb. 4. Glad to see I'm not the only old fart wanting to get healthier!
