I am 67 years old and had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago. I think it was one of the best decisions that I ever made.

I had complications and had to be rushed in to a second surgery. I had a hernia, a bleeding ulcer and a tumor but I am on the mend and feeling better each day.

I turned 64 on October 17th. I had my surgery in 2014 but have no energy and my legs ache constantly, especially when sitting or laying down. Did you have this problem at all? The good news is that my blood pressure is now normal, my diabetes is gone and they fixed my hernia at the same time! I am lactose intolerant now though.

I'm 60. Had VSG surgery a year ago and now walk at least 5 miles a day and I'm back doing 2-3 ballet classes per week with the teacher who taught me when I was a professional dancer 30 years ago. I feel WONDERFUL.
