Debbi,

I work at a center that does a fair amount of plastic surgery (no post WLS patients so far) and let me tell you 53 is not old!  We just had a lady that was in her late 60's for Lipo suction.  If you feel that PS would be good for you then go for it, if you are happy with how things are then don't.  It is what is right for you.

In her 60's REALLY????  I don't know.  I guess with all of the surgeries that I've had and breast cancer I just feel like why bother?

MaryEllen,

I have missed you, but the idea of having this surgery is to live again.  I hope that when you have healed, the results of you PS exceed  your expectations.  

I have been feeling good and very positive.  I have been taking good care of myself, following Dr's orders in regard to what I eat and making sure I get enough protein, vitamins etc. I have also join the local YMCA and have been doing cardio training 5 days a week and Resistance training 3 days a week.  Getting stronger!  I really enjoyed my time off from work after my surgery and sadly I am back to the grind, seems like I was never gone!  I understand what you mean about having so many things on your plate! (I guess since we are now eating so much less we have to fill our plates in other ways)

Take good care of yourself and let others take care of you.  If you need anything let me know, I appreciate that you have been there for me.

She has been doing wonderfully also.  She returned to work about 2 weeks ago.  She has been jogged at least 4 times a week for about 3 weeks now.  So far it seems like we are the poster couple for RNY WLS!  I hope that everything keeps going so well for us.
