Chiming in late, but I'm going to be 51 on Thursday, and will be having my surgery soon too! I have looked over on the 50 and over page, but not a lot of people post over there... maybe we need to bring it back to life with new blood :)

I'm so excited about my new chance to be slim, but a little bummed about the likelihood of all the excess skin. Someone needs to invent a magical skin shrinking cream for us! LOL

Good Luck! See you on the other side for sure!

I am 61years young. I had surgery on 4/4/2016.

Had RNY surgery in March 2015 when I was 51 years old. Have lost 125 pounds. Best thing I ever did.

I love to hear that Hagengirl3!

Im same age and having revision from band to bypass in 2 days time. I'm so scared that I'm making a mistake and that I'll regret it.

Have you regretted your decision for bypass at all??

Can you tolerate alcohol at all? I just hope to have a glass of wine occasionally.

Im mostly afraid of never being able to eat out with friends at restaurants again. Its a big part of socialising here in Australia.

Have u found foods that you just cannot eat at all?

Would you do it again if you could go back in time?

I agree about the extra skin

I had my surgery 4/4/2016 I feel better already. I have lost 33 pounds but keep in mind the Protein is essential its look putting gas in your car. I felt really tired one day then it dawned on me need more Protein. Well good luck on your weight loss journey. I thought about for a long time it is a mindset change and a life style change.

So I'm 50 y/o starting my journey to a thinner me! My surgery date is 4/14 and I'll be starting my 2 week liquid Protein diet tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited that it's finally here and I can see the light of a healthier, more active me around the corner. Anyone else starting this over 50? My husband is starting as well two weeks after me.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
