Anticipation

[ivorythomascina 14]

On June 30th I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery. I'm 63 but have several friends around my age who have had the surgery and yes it did work! My surgeon has done the procedure on 70 yr olds. I admit to being a bit nervous, I'm electing to go under the knife-but I want my body/health improved and want to enjoy my 3 grandkids So, say a prayer. I look forward to sharing and your helpful comments.

Congratulations on getting a date! Being nervous is normal. Just focus on those precious grandbabies and how much more time you will be able to spend with them because you are choosing to be healthier! Prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

I am 68 years old and had my surgery on April 12th. It's the best thing I ever did. I feel so good and I'm able to play with my grandchildren without getting winded. Good luck to you!

Good for you. I'm 71 and scheduled for 7-11. Really excited for this. I expect it to help with several medical problems I have.

Hi, congrats on making that step that will change your life. I am 65 and in August I'll be 1 year out. I am off my insulin and I can walk again without my legs giving out. I have 6 grandkids all under the age of 8. I know my surgery was a blessing and I know yours will be too.
