Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot



Recommended Posts

I have been measured several times, at several different stores. I have even been measured in several states! I am a 38 B right now.

I swear men make and design bras and they don't think of comfort when they do this. I have one old one that is made out of a very comfortable material. I can't find it anymore.

It's by Warner's and it's called "friday's bra"

I hope I don't lose anymore weight in my boobs. They are deflated enough.

I went to Vicky Secrets and got measired, and sur enough the wrong size for me. I was wearing a 44D... measured a 38C fits great. I bought the full coverage style, best money I have spent..

Now I found Bali's bra, is is softer and moves better than the Vicky Secret bra. same basic style, but feels more a part of me than something on me!! if you get what I mean!!! :smile:

hello everyone. I'm due to get my band May 21. I am 64. Anyone out there got theirs in their 60's? Do most meds come in liquid form?

Hi, Sherry. I'm due to get my band on May 21st too! I'm 58 so I'm nearly 60. From what I have read the medications do come in liquid form.

Welcome,

Susan

Hey Denise.....happy to hear that your revision is over and everything went well. As Janet said, please stay in contact with us on this thread. Will be interesting to hear of your journey.

Speaking of bras.....just have to recommend a brand that is an absolute dream. Hardly know you have it on it you buy the right fit. Had no clue it is the brand that Oprah brags about wearing. Came accross it at the recommendation of a little old lady shop owner. It's called LeMysterey Rouge. I ended up as a 38D. I did try a C cup but just didn't work for me.

Hi to all the newbies and welcome!

Welcome, Sherry!

There is a thread for 60+, and you're certainly welcome to hang out here, too, as I do!

You can get a lot of meds in liquid form. What in particular are you wondering about? I find I am able to swallow most tablets and capsules as long as they aren't too big. Immediately following surgery you will probably want to have some liquid Tylenol onhand. I take a few Vitamins, and I use Centrum Silver chewables, Calcium chews, liquid B-Complex (sub-lingual). My Rx are all small enough to swallow. And within a year of my surgery date, one cholesterol pill was discontinued and one of my two BP Rx half strength, making a much smaller tablet to swallow. So if you are on prescription meds, you may find your doctor eliminating some as your weight goes down.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Thanks for trying to find it for me. I looked at all the pictures at those sites and none of them looked like the

one that I have. It's hard to tell from a picture though.

The sides are made out of this really light weight material

that is really comfortable.

It seems like Warner's must have come out with a new

"Friday Bra"

As far as revision goes, I am doing great. I am going back to work tomorrow. I feel fine. I am a little bit hungry some of the time. I am not supposed to feel hunger, but being on

Clear liquids for 10 days is going to be harder than I thought.

My stomach just aches sometimes because it just feels so

empty.

I just called the doctor's office to ask if I could move to

Protein shakes.

She was going to call the dr. and call me back but it was late in the day and didn't call. I am going to call again in the morning.

I'm glad you're going together. It would have been better if I had someone to talk to. WasA's friend came to see me and that was nice. Most people there were getting bands removed and not getting the sleeve. There were a couple getting bands that I didn't really want to talk to because I don't have anything good to say about the band.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
