Churchlady2 0 Posted January 15, 2018 Hi!Syracuse NY here. My insurance requires 5 month wait for surgery but it could be expedited with serious medical need. I wonder, after reading a lot of these replies if anyone is like me & changing their mind every single day!!?? I am mostly terrified of the few days after surgery where everyone says they feel so bad. And then, if I go through all of this & totally regret my decision!But I’m 62 years old, diabetic, sleep apnea, 2nd herniated disc, bad knees, depression- so this should be a no brainer, right? I mean, a few days of feeling awful & getting sick if I blow it should be better than what I will be dealing with if I don’t lose the weight - heart attack, stroke, amputations, inability to function! So why can’t I just make up my mind??Is anyone else feeling this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kakatlady612 1,053 Posted January 15, 2018 @churchlady2 come visit us on the over 50 thread, there's a lot of us wondering if it's too late for a step like this-and it isn't. We deserve a better quality of life just like the young-ins. I'm in Central Ohio and have lived my whole life in a 60 mile radius of here. Will have my RNY at Mount Carmel in Columbus within a few months, requirments getting finished and then on the schedule. I was 72 December 26th so you aren't the oldest on here. You're very welcome to our Bari-family. Hope yours will be good for you.Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Greenfeather65 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
