I am going to be 61 this summer and I agree with you. I am being banded on june 26th. There aren't too many of us who are even over 50. But at our age the weight really takes its toll. I've developed diabetes and high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you name it apnia, acid reflus etc. I haved decided this is the end of the line for me. I have an adopted son who is 7. I need to live a long healthy life because he needs me. I think you should do this. Good Luck. You'll see. Everything will fall into place for you.

I am being banded on June 26th. I am 60 and quite nervous. How soon can you go back to work? Is it harder because of age?

misty I am married to a wonderful guy who is always supportive of everything I do and he sees this as totally unnecessary. He has expressed that I can do this by myself if I just exercise will power. I finally told him that while I understand his concerns that I am going to do this (June 26) with or without his support; I would like his support but I can do it without him. Ultimately it is up to me to succeed. Just like it is up to you. And I know you will be successful.
