I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?



Recommended Posts

I agree that everyone is different. I knew about the gas pain. Well had been told it was possible. Thought I had lucked out then Bam! It was there. I am so glad that it did not last long and wasn't any worse than it was. Ever since except feeling hungry I am doing good. One week in see the doctor today for my one week check up.

And all the congregation says--- AMEN! Sorry long evangelical background, mine Church of Christ, Methodist, maried into Nazarene and Church of Christ in Christian Union, must have been 12 before I found out not everyone goes to Camp Meetings and Revivals! So mine is L0LBPTL. Laugh out loud but Praise the Lord!

I'm 51. I know I will be one of those people who really wishes they'd done it much earlier! I can only go forward from here.

And we will all be here for you anytime you need to talk. Over 50s have successful surgeries, so do 60s and 70s, no reason to believe you're exempt for victory. We wanted it even more than our daughters and grandaughters for we know what a life without surgery is like. So use your Baby Boom gumption for a good purpose-YOU! We will be anxious to see all you can be, cause we think you're dynamite already. So nothing to it but to do it!

I agree completely. We so got this with our strong will and determination. I am here anytime someone would like to talk, vent, soundboard. It is an honor to be in this age group and look forward to our success.

Hi! I’m 54 and just had RNY on 11/28/18 - a little over 3 weeks ago. I’m doing great! With all the pre-testing, the Dr and team will make sure your a candidate for the surgery. Age is just a number!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
