HELLO AND INTRODUCTION

HI Lindsey!!! Let us know how everything is going!!!

Hi Anne, My name is Peggy and I am from Virginia. I am ( or will be 60) on april 5. About 2 years ago I had went thru everything for the lapband and after I finally got my nerve up , my husband was diagnosed with cancer(doing fine now) but I was scared of having the band inside of me. So I messed up and gained about 12 pounds back and I talked to my nurse yesterday and she said to call my insurance and see if they would approve the VSG and they said yes and the Journey begans again. I am going to my medical Dr. Next week for Blood panels and from there will go to the surgeon and I will probably have to do a 3-4 month supervised diet before my surgery but that is okay , I should have the surgery sometime this summer, but I am glad to find someone my age doing the same surgery. It will help having someone to keep in touch with. Well you have a great day. My highest weight was 293 and I am now 275 but would love to lose about 15 or so before surgery.

Hi all,  My name is Lil and I had a band to sleeve conversion about a week ago (May 13).  I have some years under my belt too.  I have adult grandchildren and could have great grands but my grand daughter and her husband think caring for a dog and cat is enough for now.  I'm also having trouble finding my way around this board and actually the whole site.  I definitely think it's worth pursuing though so let's hang in and get it figured out.  I met a women at my surgi center in Mexico who told me there is a very active "over 50" group here but I haven't had any success finding it yet either.  

i had surgery oct 1. my husband had sleeve performed in May. He bounce back after 2 days. not me. i am experiencing serious pain. it is not what I expected. I researched and talk with many previous patients. Due to the pain I am questioning my decision to have the surgery.
