72 years old and finally making the decision to be healthy again
Just giving an update on my progress with the post weight loss results: I had surgery on January 29th (6 and 1/2 months ago), and have lost 106 lbs. so far. It has been much slower losing the past couple of months, but I'm okay with that. I have gone from a size 24-26 to a 10-12 in pants and from a 4x to a medium in tops, so I am very pleased with how well I am doing. However, I have noticed lately I have been eating a little more, and having snacks between meals, so I am writing as a plea for some encouragement to keep on the path I started 2 and 1/2 years ago. I have heard of lots of women who had WLS and immediately started gaining their weight back, and I desperately don't want that to happen to me! Anyone else going through this? What do you suggest? Thanks for any input you may have for me. On a positive note, I am teaching a weight-loss class at our church and loving it (using Kimberly Taylor's program "Take Back Your Temple".
72 years old and finally making the decision to be healthy again
I had the sleeve done on Jan 29, and have only lost around 20 lbs. My Dr said (at my 3 weeks follow-up) I was eating too much, even though it was tiny portions. I am feeling discouraged that it is not coming off faster. I am really very afraid that I will stretch my stomach and start gaining. I guess i need some encouragement to keep on the right path and watch what I pop in my mouth, etc. Even though I have lost 80 lbs this past year, I really need to keep going down. Has anyone else experienced this situation? If so, what is the answer? Thanks for your feedback.

My latest update: Last Friday, Jan 29, I had the laproscopic sleeve gastrectomy. It couldn't have gone better! I was walking the hospital halls 3 hours after surgery. Had a little nausea the next day, am doing really great! Came home after 2 days, feeling super. Thanks fellow sleevers for the encouragement I have received so far. I still can't believe I actually had it done. God is good!!
Provider Review
Dr Kevin Potter
Dr Potter has been awesome! He has answered every question I have had, and seems to be concerned with my well being. I get lots of positive feedback from him. I had no complications, no pain, just a little nausea for a day. I would highly recommend Dr Potter to anyone in the area who is considering this surgery. He's the best!
