Hello SouthDakotaSomeone, I am 52 years old and had my RNY gastric bypass done on March 31st, 2017. I am an RN so I've been around plenty of surgeries but never had one myself! I, like you was unreasonably (or perhaps reasonably!) fearful of the surgery but kept thinking I can get this done or live a much shorter and definitely unhappy life because I have tried Everything to lose weight! And I am soooo happy I pushed through that fear! This has been the best decision I've made in years! I feel so much more in control of my life and you will too! Take a deep breath, ask all the questions of the surgery team and dive in! You won't regret it! Sent from my SM-S978L using BariatricPal mobile app
