I am 64 yrs old and have been looking into open surgery but have decided against it because of my age. I am wondering if there are many my age that have had the lapband and how they are doing. Thankyou -any replies will be welcome. abbydabber

Hi,

Hey!! I just turned 60 and I'm going for it! This is for my HEALTH and a few more years of quality life! Right now I'm on my pre-op liquid diet (not fun) and will be banded Wednesday, Nov. 29. Am I nervous? You bet! But I can't lose weight on my own. Hopefully the band will be my tool to get me back to good health!

Go for it! :clap2:

My dad was 70 when he had the surgery last April. He flew right through without any complications. He has lost about 65 pounds and feels great.

I say go for it...you won't regret it
