Looking for November Buddies

[StabMyFinger 19]

Hello, I am looking for people who will be getting a November 2014 date. I am halfway through my 6 month Dr documentation and can't wait till my time. I have a lap band and it will be removed and a RNY done. I have thought long and hard about my decision as I 65. My Dr said he has done this on many "older" people and saw no reason for any problems. I am just looking for someone else to talk to going through the same as me.

I am not a November buddy but I am an oldie but goody. I am almost 5 weeks post op from gastric bypass surgery. I have lost 32 pounds since my surgery on July 8th. I went thru everything fine and had no problems what so ever. I am 68 years old and i'm living proof that you can do this and be successful! So go for it and I know you too will be happy with your results. Please keep me posted! And good luck.

I agree! You will be healthy and happier! I'm 49 and going from band to gastric bypass on Wednesday. My mother who has had health issues due to weight wishes she had this opportunity, she is now 85 and very active. She has been very supportive and you can do this!!! Go for it! we are hear to root each other on!!!

Hi, I'm almost at the end of my requirements but have decided to wait until after I go on vacation in Nov to have my surgery done. I met a woman who is 73 and 2 years post op! She looked fabulous! Had no idea she was 73.

I meet with my surgeon in September but I have already cleared the insurance obstacles. I do not have a confirmed date yet but the office said I would most likely have a November date. I can't wait!

I am looking at end of November and going through all the requirements. Next week is my 4th nutrition appt. Getting more and more excited. I have to do this for my health and for myself. I am 44 and my primary dr encouraged me to do the bypass because of my family history of premature heart disease and obesity. My Dr said its not if u have a heart attack, its when because when I go into menopause I wont have estrogen to protect me anymore. Needless to say, Im anxious to get through this process for my health.
