    Hi All
    I am looking forward to having a sleeve done April 10th of 2012. I am excited about having it done. Just a little apprehencive. I too am having it done in Mexico. In the US it cost up to 4 times the amount. My husband is going with me. We plan on making it a part of our two week vacation. The tail end of course. It is good to talk to people over 50 who have had this done. I welcome any imput.
    In 106 days I will no longer be sleevless.

    I am in my 60's and had a wonderfull experience in Mexico. I had no post-op pain, or nausea. Follow your doctor's post-op orders carefully and walk, walk, walk. You will be fine.

    Glad to see some of you are in your 60s. I am 63 and I was worried about having complications due to me age.
    I will finish my Kaiser Options classes Jan 3rd. I have had all my tests done and everything looked good so my next step should be a consultation with the doctor. I have only lost 3-4 lbs but I heard that everyone will be required to go on a two week liquid diet before the surgery so I am hoping to lose whatever I need to lose for the surgery with that.

    I am having the sleeve done tomorrow. I'm 55 yrs old. all looks well, but I have comorbidities that really make me want to get this done. I'll let you know how it goes. I am having mine at Kaiser in California. So far it has all gone well and I haven't had any road blocks once I was referred to the program. The hardest thing was getting my PCP to refer me! once she did, I was on my way. No one else had any hesitation about it in the bariatric dept. Good luck to you.
