Seventy or more????

Welcome Jan, Congratulations on almost being 75 and still wanting the surgery. I'm so glad you care about your health. Come visit on the sixties site if you want slightly more action.

Yes, at 72 I decided to have the lap band. I have been banded for 5 weeks now. I have lost 25 lbs so far (10 before susrgery, and 15 since surgery) I feel great, but sometimes, I could eat the "north end out of a south bound cow!" I hopefully get my first fill on Monday 5/5/08. I am not married - have been a couple of times though, but have been single for about 30 years. I don't mind being single, I have gotten used to it. I do have grown children, grand-children and greats. I have a cat named Sugar who is a love. When I get thin, I wouldn't mind meeting a nice man (yeah right!), but that would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. All the good ones are already married. I envy the women who have wonderful mates. I live near Boise Idaho. Formerly, Sacramento, Placerville, and San Clemente California. I don't really miss it though, because I have a beautiful home here, and I travel quite a bit. Love to hear from some of you older gals. Bye for now.

I am 69....and had my surgery 4/23. Still very very sore - and not that much energy. Struggling to get down enuff proteins. Cannot stand the special drinks..........or the chewable and liquid supplements. Any suggestions?

My Doc's nutritionist wanted me to use Boost. Yuck!!! But I've been using "Essentia Natural" 100% Protein with Micellar Casein. It's by Iron-Tek. It has 120 Calories, 2g fat,30mg cholesterol, 4g carbs and 22 grams of protein. I mix it w/skimmed milk and sometimes put in 1/2 banana and ice cubes. It makes a nice smoothie and comes in several flavors. Alternatively, I also use "Profect" protein beverage which has 0 fat & 0 carbs but 25 g protein. Ive had to get it via internet, however. The vitamin/healthfood store I use didn't have any. It comes in a bullet-type vial and is @3 oz. Good for travel.

By the way, I was 69 when I had my banding. So far, down 60, but about at least another 100 to go.

Keep your chin up.

I am rather new here, and even though I am in my late 60's it seemed more appropriate to post my question here. First, let me apologize if I offend anyone.

Have any of the men, or women who have been intimately associated with men, had positive experiences with men's increased sexual capabilities after Lap Band surgery, either directly from (a) Lap Band (b) the associated weight loss and/or (c) the benefits of exercise after a banding experience?

If you do not want to answer in the public forum, I would appreciate a private message.

Thank you.
