welcome, welcome, welcome

ahhhhh Betty, nice to meet you

i've been waiting to open the door for you

i was 57 when i was sleeved (almost 5 years ago)

age doesn't matter

determination is what counts

following all the important rules

you'll learn a lot from the boards

other peoples experience, thoughts, words of wisdom

butttttt.... at the end of the day, only listen to your doc or NUT

PO 10 days - you are recovering nicely??

didn't say otherwise

you are starting a healthier, happier, longer life

how wonderful is that!!!

i'm sure you will be another success story

good luck

kathy

Thanks Kathy! And yes I'm healing good! No problems so far. At day 8 I was back in the gym walking for 30mins on treadmill per doctor order he wants me to walk 30mins per day 6-7 days a week. It's been ok, glad to start this journey!!

I Betty, I had my sleeve done 8/9/16 at the age of 62. Best choice I ever made for myself. Down about 50ps total between pre-op and now. Just got thru a 3 weeks stall and all. Down already 1/2 my blood pressure med. Love my new life.

I was sleeved at 67 three years ago. I spent 8 hours in the hospital, and took one pain pill when I got home, and no pain after that. That was on a Monday, and I was walking in the mall four days later. Best thing I ever did for my health!

The fear of the unknown was the worst part. Relax and it will be over before you know it!

So happy to hear your experience. I'm 61 and will likely have surgery early December. Several medical issues I hope to better or resolve by doing this.
