Hi...newbie but oldie here

I'll be 50 in November ...Just starting my journey. Already met with the surgeon. Next week is nutritionist and then the 18th I have my psychological evaluation. After that, it will be submitted to insurance for approval. Keeping fingers crossed it all goes as planned. Can't believe i actually made that first step. Would love to hear other stories in our age group.

Hi! I am 53 yr old, I am having RNY next week on Wednesday! Excited to get going, and scared a bit too. When I planned this surgery I didn't plan on having 3 adult step kids move in with us this summer! We have boomerangs. I am not sure how to make everything work with my recovery, but I have waited so long to do this that I don't want to put it off any longer.

Looking forward to getting to know you and everyone else!

I am sure you will do well ! You've waited this long . Just think that these new boomers will be your support group while recovery is happening ! I was at my brothers during Christmas for mine . Was the best thing having people around who cared and love me !! Good luck !! Wish you well
