Hi, I've just joined! I'm 65 and I've had my first meeting with the Dr., doing the testing and need to schedule the psychiatric evaluation. I want the rest of my life to be active and healthy. If I do nothing I'll have lots of health issues to contend with. I'm glad I found people my age doing and considering the surgery. My family Dr. and bariatric Dr. don't have any concerns about age and surgery. Their information said no increased in health risk for surger and no downside to the amount of weight I can lose. Does this coincide with your experience?
