nanahanna 1 Posted January 30, 2006 LOL desertmom, 38 IS young in my book....considering I am 61 and have a daughter older than you! Congrats on losing 105 pounds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyNana 10 Posted January 31, 2006 I was 54 when banded, my mom was 73, now 74. Erosion is not particular about age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dody 0 Posted February 6, 2006 I am now 64 and will have the band this Spring. Complications from an ulcer have slowed down my process of getting the band. I'm excited, although optimisticly cautious as to the results. I'm no spring chicken, but I would love to see my grandchildren grow up and get married. My father lived to be 100, so I'm hoping I inherited his genes, and I don't want to be the typical grandma. I want to be more secure in my well-being and a risk taker if nothing else. I'm not worried about the surgery, although somewhat concerned if I will be able to take my medications afterwards. All in all my surgeon doesn't think I'm too old, and I certainly don't feel too old, but I better not say much as I may be back here the first few days after complaining and moaning about everything :puke: Age is just a number!!

nanahanna 1 Posted February 6, 2006 Way to go Dody! I am not backing out either! I am an optimist and I have great faith in God! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showboatgirl 0 Posted February 9, 2006 I was 56 when i was banded. In 5 months, I have lost 56 pounds and I haven't had a fill. I wish I could have had this surgery when I was in my forties. I wasted all of those years being overweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
