I had DS September 2009! I am sure that qualifies me as an old timer for sure!!!
I have not regretted this surgery for one second!! Best thing I did as far as weight loss goes!
I am having no problem maintaining my loss, and I am very very fortunate that I eat whatever I want, I have no restrictions, and no ill effects from any foods! (I know how fortunate I am!)
Best wishes to anyone considering this surgery!!!!!

You are just a few days from the surgery date. Hang on.. You have got this ... We are here for you.
My WLS was done in 96.. a precursor to the ones done now. by a master surgeon retired several years. a combination of procedures done and effective..guess that makes me an old timer.
I pop in every week or two for a while..then life gets in the way and i'm off for a while.. weight has been pretty steady...for past several years.
Aug 2005 here. I stop in now and then.

I had my DS in 2003 and I'm still around. Guess I'm an old timer ;)

I had my VSG DS back in January 2009. I used to be on these forums all the time. It was so awesome back then. Any of the same folks here ?
Body by God; alterations by Buchwald. I love Jesus. I so so so appreciate my DS.
Jmm4321, Be alert for any signs of osteoporosis with Omeprozole over an extended time. it interferes with absorption of calcium and other minerals..My hubs had issue and he did not have wls./(w/prilosec..) goes with all the ppi's.... Consider adding k2 and magnesium and d3 and other bone builders to different dose well away from prilosc.in order to maximize your absorption. I have lost my teeth because of mal absoption. it is another possible complication of mal absorption and ppi's.. just so you know- so you can be aware. Take care.
Eugene.A How are you doing? have you noted a difference? Just checkin in...
Travis, try charcoal caps away from your vitamins and aftr meal- a little whille.. it works for gas for me,, 2 caps one time... see if u can tell the difference. it will pass thru black, so don't let that surprise you...indigestion is indication of gas pressure or dietary intolerance.. high acid food for me.
