My profile states I've lost 150 pounds. Not so. I'm just starting the process, and have had my weight monitored for two-months. I too can't wait to really start losing weight !!!

Good for you mondaylady!! I am 68 and a little over 5 weeks out from my surgery and i'm doing excellent. It's an adjustment but I found it will all be well worth it. Good luck and please keep me posted on your journey to a new and healthier you.

so happy to come accross some folks nearer my age. I am excited to have my life back, do the things my weight is prohibiting me to do. I hate it that i cannot be active as i want. Don't care too much about how much i want to lose or need to, i think that is just a number , like my age. I just want to be able to pull myself up into the truck, walk the trade day sales, go shopping etc. I also have spinal stenosis-mild but try to stretch to keep it in line. I am from Texas? anybody else from here.

I am 64.5 and am scheduled for a revision (laoband removal, then bypass) on the 16. Very excited. I had 6 yrs if aspiration pneumonia b4 they figured out it was the lapband! Surgery was postponed once due the surgeon breaking his foot and may get postponed again due to an asthma flare up after having bronchitis! One of my dear friends had bypass at 65 and 5 yrs later she's a new gal!! As long as your doctors give u the go ahead! Go for it. As my surgeon says, obesity is a life threatening illness, like cancer. You'd have surgery to get rid of the cancer. If you've exhausted all other possibilities, surgery may save your life!

Hey Boppin.....Congrats on your decision to have bypass done.

[ambpete 26]

Sorry Boppin....fingers slipped. I'm a young 68 year old who is 9 weeks post-op and so happy I made this life changing decision. I am able to walk 2 miles each day with out the severe knee pain I have experienced for many years. I am also off my high blood pressure meds all together. Since my surgery day I am down 49 pounds and had loss an additional 12 pounds since my initial visit. Whilemy weekly loss now is averaging 3pounds, its still heading in the right direction. I had very little discomfort or pain. Overall it went very smoothly. Please keep me posted on your jouy, and good luck! I know you will do well.
