Anyone out there over 60?

[LCS 21]

Hi,

I'm having my procedure done on the 19th of April. So excited, but also nervous. I hope that my age doesn't get in the way of success. I've read so many different manuals from various doctors that my head is about to explode. At this point, I just want it over with, so that I can start my new journey. I'm not looking to wear a bikini. (heaven forbid) I just want to be healthy and see my 3 grandchildren, ages 3, 20 mos., and 10 wks. grow up. Wish me luck, and I'll keep you informed.

We're here with you! I'm 55, and at 11 weeks postop I weigh less than I have in 10 years. I feel great! This is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I'm 60 and had the surgery on Friday. It was EASY. I got very sick the next day from the pain killers which I really didn't need to begin with. I honestly feel like I'm recovering now from Saturday, NOT Friday's surgery! All is good! Good luck to you!

There are a number of us late 50s and early 60s even a couple in their 70s. We seem to be doing fine. Have you looked at the age-specific subforum toward the bottom of the home page? You might find thst interesting

I'm 63 and 6 months post op. My surgery was a revision from a bad lap band put in 4 years ago. I am feeling great! Better than I have in years! I was very weak for a few weeks right after the surgery, but made it fine.

Good luck,

Jeri
