TO OLD??
Hi All,
Am I to old to have the sleeve surgery? Am I just fooling myself about and all this? Like I said and I meant it with all my heart, I am doing this first and foremost for my heath, ok that is fine. But when I get to thinking I might look pretty or being small would be wonderful, really should I wake up and smell the rose's. Then I think it is going to be so nice not carry this fat around, it makes me so tired and I get upset at myself for letting me get in this bad shape. I am 56 and will be 57 in June. Guess I am just having weird feelings about all this. I feel if I was younger it would all be worth it. I get so happy for everyone that gets approved, no matter what age.
Really would like some honest feed back. Maybe I think I am not worth it, then I think I am a child of God's and I am worth it, this is his temple and I need to take care of this temple.
My surgery is the 20th and it is getting close.
Thank you all.
God Bless

I think you're getting cold feet. Just try to imagine that feeling of freedom once the weight starts dropping off. I believe the Lord wants us to enjoy life and be happy, so, won't you enjoy life even more when you are physically able to get out really be a part of things, instead of living on the sidelines.
Good luck and just keep praying!
my roomate in the hospital was actually 70! and she is doing great right now. she delt with it way better than i did too, she didn't have any nausea or anything. i had some blood in my stomach that made me really nauseated until i vomited it all up, which took 2 days and was painful, but i guess it doesn't happen really often.
I will say that you will need to not be too hard on yourself and just do what the doctor tells you and the weight will come off! This is best group to belong with as they are the people who will be here for you when your family and friends aren't. This is a group with a lot of information and someone has gone through most anything that you will go through so you aren't out there by yourself!
God Bless you Evie,

Yes, it is so worth it. Most of us get last minute jitters ... this is probably yours.
