OK, this is so unreal! I am at home in my recliner a day early! Me, at the ripe old age of 67 left my fellow sleevers, who are mostly half my age, in the hospital - suffering to various degrees and unable to get in the required liquids to be released. I am in shock but I feel great. I have a bit of bubbly gas, an occasional tummy spasm and incision tenderness, that's all. I am grateful, don't get me wrong, I am just amazed. I was scared I'd be in the hospital longer if anything. Every body is different that's for sure.
great! hears to a continued speedy recovery!
I'm 61yrs. and alittle apprehensive myself! Congrats and good luck on your weightloss
For us old timers, this surgery is nothing; we've experienced it all...Enjoy the second half of your life and the good health you will have! Terry
Sweet.... you go girl
way to go!!!
Awesome! You young whippersnapper.....
I hope to follow in your speedy recovery footsyeps next week!
Wahoo! This is good news! Walking will be your new best friend for a while.
I had my surgery 7/10/12 and I am 64. And I gotta say I sailed thru the surgery. No problems at all. I had some fatigue that comes with every major surgery for a few weeks here and there, but I too was concerned about issues from the surgery, but all went well. Been on a stall on weight loss for almost two months, but that seems to be getting better. Weight loss is slower, but that is fine as I want to lose another 25 lbs and I am happy. Good healthy numbers is my goal.
Good for you, wishing you much success with your sleeve, I am one year out yesterday, down 104 lbs. It's is amazing. My favorite saying that I read on this site is: Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. Have a Happy New Year. Sam
Congrats! SO glad to hear the good news. Good luck on your journey. I'm nervous about the upcoming surgery so life changing..
had my surgery yesterday morning and am doing great no nausea can't wait to go home1
That's so encouraging! I'm 55 and need all the encouraging I can get! Sending healing thoughts your way.
YEAH! Glad to hear senors like myself still care about their appearance and health. Having my endo tomorrow...
I'm 56 and sailed through. My daughter was 19 and had a very difficult time. Go figure!! I was wondering if this surgery was worth having at my age... well it certainly is. I have so much more energy, stamina and bounce in my step. Nothing hurts after a hard day's work anymore!! Clothes shopping is starting to be fun now that I'm a size 20. Slow yes, but steady. Congrats everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was easy, Back to work in a week, now 85 pounds lost, I FEEL GREAT!
Congratulations on your speedy discharge! Walk and sip walk and sip as they will be your new best friends. I look forward to following your journey.
Very encouraging, thanks for sharing. I go for my endoscopy on Wed. Best of Luck to you and awsome news!
