Age 60+ before & after pictures?

[Anndallei 0]

I have two women friends in their mid 60's who are wanting to have lap-band surgery. One has about 75 pounds to lose, the other 150 pounds. If I could show them some before and after pictures of people who are close to their age and have managed to lose a fair amount of weight, I know it will give them a huge boost of confidence!

:help:

How about it....any over 60 losers (before and after pictures) you're willing to share? Pleeeeease :pray:

Thanks much!

I don't have pix but just a vote of confidence. I had surgery at age 61 with a heart condition and sev. other co-morbidities......I did great, continuing to do great, feel great. My fill dr (who did my pre-op testing) said he had patients who had surgery as old as 75 who had done very well and lost both pounds and years!!

Carlene,

You were beautiful before and even more beautiful now! Wow, you do not look a day over 45!

DVSABoss,

I hope that you will get lots of pictures to encourage your friends!

I am 62 and would'nt take for my lap band. I needed to loose 70 pounds and now its only 50 so I will do pictures when I am finished. Out 1 month tomorrow.I can really tell it in my tummy, face and clothes. I have gotten rid of 20 inches also. I love that also. Tell them to go for it. I just wish this had been around a long time ago. I did'nt even hear about it until

Dec. 05. Just got tired of fighting it so hard.

Thank you all for replying, I will share these with my friends. They were really excited when I told them people had replied. They need as much encouragement as they can get. It's a pretty scary step for them!

I just had to say how fantastic Carlene looks for 56! I would have guessed 38 - 45yrs. You look wonderful!

Tidge and Heather....you girls are my new best friends. Thanks for your kind words.

I will be 60 tomorrow! I will be sharing my pictures but since I was only banded 3 weeks ago, there isn't much yet to show. I have lost 21 lbs (but 10 since surgery). I can't see any differnce yet, but I sure can feel it in my feet when I walk.
