I am 59 and have surgery December 30th. I was so scared that I was getting up there in age and maybe this wasn't a good idea. I have been heavy my entire life and was that sad little 5th grader when the nurse told my weight out loud. So glad I found this 50's Forum, and will be moving up to the sixties in June. I am very excited to do this for myself.
I can't really remember doing too much for myself my whole life - mommy, wife, teacher, ex-wife, (*wink*) and my greatest self ever a meemaw.
