Wish I could say I am doing well....I'm not. But I am trying to deal a day at a time. Finding myself filling the emptiness with food (carbs), and that's scarey. But, one must keep on keeping on............

Thanks for all of you *****sponded to the over 60 question. Your comments were helpful and inspirational. I will look at more of the scientific articles since I have access to Pub Med. Much appreciation.

VSG on 12/04/07

I am 64 and had the VSG 12/4/07. My BMI was 33 and is now 27 - I have done well and had no major problems. I wish I could take off the weight a little faster but am glad I had the VSG done. My goal is BMI 23 but I may raise it a little depending on the condition of my skin. My blood pressure meds have been cut in 1/2 and my allergies are much better. Good luck to you. I would think the VSG is the way to go for you with your BMI and no co-morbid conditions. Why risk the consequences of the Roux en Y when a VSG has no malabsorbtion issues. Donna

Thank you Donna, you've reminded me again of some of the risk factors of the RNY. Good luck on your weight loss.

VSG on 07/03/07

I will be 64 in a couple of days. I had my VSG in July 07 and my BMI was 72. I have lost 112 pounds and now have a BMI of 52. I still have quite a bit more to lose but I am feeling fine and have had no complications. Several of my meds have been lowered or stopped also. Rose

Thank you Rose, you are very inspiring. I now am seriously considering the VSG rather than the RNY.
