I've been reading posts for several months and appreciate the information shared here about bariatric surgery. I had Roux-N-Y surgery in July 2004. Lost about 100lbs my 1st 2 years. Over the last 20+ years my weight has been up and down. In both cases; it was emotionally based. Now aging (61) and losing the lbs. is much harder (again it is mostly emotional). I seriously considered revision for a while in 2022, at the time I considered how lucky I am to not have any really significant problems other than weight gain. (I heard/read the suffering. The decision then seemed easy - no; not going to even take a chance. I am up 50 lbs. in 22 years. Right now I am determined to work on my mental health and get to the root of my addiction to food. For me now; its an inside job.

I feel your pain. I had WLS in 2004, lost 175 pounds, kept 100 off so far. I exercise 5 times per week, try to eat well 70% of time and my PMD says she doesn't worry about me getting diseases of aging, I'm fairly healthy and she realizes it's harder for us women to lose weight the older we are. I'm 72 years old. However I am trying as I would like to take a few pounds off to be healthier. Yes the struggle is real and there is no parole.
