I am 68 and had VS 2/1/10. Lost 12 lbs. first month and was dissappointed. However, in last 18 days have only lost 3 lbs!! I'm beginning to think this surgery doesn't work for older women. On the i mo. pre op adkins diet prior to surgery I lost 12 lbs. in the 7 wks since surgery only 15. This is driving me nuts! I've followed the diet, vitamins, protein & liquid to a T and have talked to the dietician and doctor with no explanation...just wait, wait,wait!! I've had a few responses from other older patients and they too, experienced low weight loss. This is the pitts!
