Over weight and Over 60



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes:Hi,

As listed I am over weight and over 60. Right now I have very few helth issues but if I don't control this over eating that is going to become a problem. I can not change my age but I would very much lick to change the over weight part. I have not willingly had my picture taken for years and I don't make contact with old friends and dread seeing anyone I used to know 10 years or more ago.

I have tried all kinds of diets and stuff but am not willing or able to stick with anything but I am definatly ready to stop living this way and would like to be more sociable and enjoy a lot that I now miss.

I recently had dinner with a friend and she shared with me she had lapband 3 years ago and is very happy with the result. She lives out of state ( I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area). If anyone lives in my area and would like to suggest a doctor to use I would be very grateful. I live near Fort Worth but am willing to travel to Dallas for surgery. I would love to know what most people pay for their surgery I have read on the internet from $9,900 to $15,000 since I will be paying out of pocket I would of coarse like to pay the lowest but that is not alway the best way to go.

Thanks for listening and responding if you can,

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
