Hi all! I’m scheduled for my sleeve and hiatal hernia repair on April 12th 2018. I am 69, diabetic,asthmatic and I have GERD and fibromyalgia. I’m hoping this surgery will improve the quality and quantity of my life. Wish me luck!

Thanks "It's about me" I do have a post in the way of a question to other "post-op" VSG over 60 gladiators. Has anyone reached a plateau in their 3rd-4th months?I have. I'm wondering when this will end. I was encouraged to stay positive and embrace where I am.

Hi Cbf,

The best of luck to you on your surgery. I know you will have a great recovery and elimination of many if not all of your above-mentioned conditions. The road to your good health and "new you" begins with this first step!

You are in my prayers.

I'm 62 and have high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol and COPD. Best wishes to all of you on your "rebirth"!

Hi Neon Star,

Those comorbidity conditions generally disappear after bariatric surgery. Are you scheduled to have it or contemplating having it? Wishing you the best in your decision and progress.

I'm scheduled for May 7th. When is your surgery? I'll be praying for you too!

My surgery was December 14th! I'm glad I had it. Even though it is still an adjustment, I'm happy with my decision. I've seen videos of people who had regrets...I don't bur it is a struggle for me.

Thanks for your prayers and you are certainly in mine.
