Hello there, I'm 68 and was banded on the 28th of Feb.2011 I have lost a total of 48 lbs. and I don't feel like my age has been an issue at all.
I had no pain what so ever with the surgery other than gas pain and that left after about a week. I already have so much more energy and feel so much better than I have in years. I have had one fill and have another appt. for a check up on the 25th of May. Don't worry about your age just listen to your surgeon and you should do great. Good luck and Best wishes on your new life.
