Initial Age at Weight Loss Surgery Concerns

[ssflbelle 829]

I had the sleeve surgery plus my gallbladder removed and my hernia repaired 2 days after my 60th birthday. I had my surgery on Tuesday and was back home Thursday. I had to take lovenox injections for one month so I didn't get any blood clots. Only problem I had was for the first 2 weeks the gas got stuck in my upper right back shoulder because I couldn't walk. It was very painful but once I started taking X-Gas maximum strips it left. I was off work for 4 weeks but probably could have gone back to work sooner. It wasn't until week 4 that I was allowed to eat food so I was afraid I might be too weak to work sooner. My incisions healed very nicely.

This month I am scheduled for a breast lift and FNG. This surgery is very much needed but I am a bit more fearful of the pain I might encounter from this surgery than I was for the ones last year.
