August 19th - Dr. Stephen V. Hamn; Baylor Frisco - VGS
What a wild and emotional ride it is waiting for surgery. Though I have explored this option for quite a while, I only selected my surgeon a few weeks ago and, as a self pay, everything is happening very quickly. My emotions run from excited to terrified and I'm trying hard to keep an even keel. Would love to hear from other "50-somethings" who have taken this journey and are pleased and happy with the results.
In the meantime, best wishes to all those in August and beyond who are taking such a huge step toward better health. We will all take the leap together! The information I have gotten here, from my surgeon and his staff have been phenomenal.
Good luck Augustans!

Lisa,
Glad I found you tonight. Been looking for someone my age also. I am Sherry from SC, 55yrs. old. My surgery is Aug. 31 in Charlotte, NC. All of this happened so fast,,,,,,my gastro Dr. here in SC sent me to NC to see specialist about doing surgery for my Acid Reflux! THis was July 15 ! Had no idea WLS was even an option for me. Drs. told me the refulx surgery would not go away until I lost weight, and they suggested gastric bypass. I almost fell off the exam table! My husband and daughter were with me and their mouths flew open too.
We came home and I begin to resheach, talk to people who had it done, etc.
I have had test run,,,upper GI,Stress Test, HIDA test , X-rays, saw my family Dr. etc. etc.
I am exhaused,,,, but excited.
I am almost 100lbs over weight and only 5'3 inches tall.
I have been on every diet known to man and then some. If I saw it on TV I bought it, pills, video's, etc.
I have not told many people about the WLS, only the reflux surgery. Just not ready for the whole town to know,,,,,,I live in a small town where everyone knows your name and business, lol
Would love to hear back from you and maybe we can help each other go throught this life change.

Have a great day,
God BLess,
Sherry
