sylvi 8 Posted December 27, 2015 Hi I'm 56 years old and I have about 35 kg to 40kg to loose well I would hope that I can. I'm new to this forum, I have been told my surgery date will be on the 19/2/2016 I am excited but also scared of post op complications. I do think about how much my health issues will improve. But I'm still a little concerned. I have been reading that the people who are doing the RNY are younger than me so I would like to hear from some people around my age who have done this procedure and are post op. Looking forward to hearing from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommy Joe 113 Posted February 1, 2016 I'm 57 overweight about 60 pounds. I have severe reflux even triggered by Water at times. I have very managed care Group Health of Washington, don't think they will cover surgery if I decide to do it. I also have kidney tumor that is very slow growing but eventually will need to come out. I'm thinking of the RNY but don't know....any advice would be great, I'm not afraid of going to Mexico if I have to. I've done Nutrisystem, Medifast, Weight Watchers, HMR, the Drops, .... All work until I go off the diet then bam fat again. I'm 5'9" and 248 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've found people to be very friendly and offer great advice. Sooner than I think, I'll be a post op person!
