Hi all. I'm just starting my journey. haven't had the surgery yet. but nice to know there are some my age getting this. so far, ive only met younger people.

[Mary Shulby 3]

At times it seems as though almost everyone IS younger than we are! I have lost years off of my age in the past seven months though! I feel as though I am a new person! I AM a new person!

[~Pam~64~ 15]

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to the new person

Hi 50 somrthings! I got my surgery date!!!!! March 14th ..... so excited!!!! Bypass surgery....here I come!

HI! I am 56 and am planning on surgery May 6. I've been anxiously awaiting to see if my psychologist approved me, she was supposed to get back to me on Friday but didn't. I'm very nervous about the whole process but it helps to read the posts and see people my age going through the same process. I worry because I've been overweight for 20 years and whenever I start losing, I kind of panic and stop whatever I did to lose the weight. And of course gain it back. But I am ready to get my health back. One thing I wanted to mention about pain, I found when I went gluten free, the pain in my back went away, something to do with inflammation caused from gluten. Might be something to try.

I'm 55 and had bypass January 11 not all has been roses but it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I'll be glad to tell you anything you want to know. Good luck on your journey!

I'm 56 and I'll be having my bypass surgery on March 8. It's getting close so I'm getting nervous now.

Hi I'm 51 and had my bypass 2/24/16. I'm very new to this completely. I look everyday for advice, experiences, answers and just to learn.

I am 57 and expect to get approval and RNY late April. This is revision from VBG from 20+ years ago and I am so looking forward to getting away from the band problems and getting back to normal again (Or as close as I can get)

56 last week and waiting for rny, just starting journey but agree with all of you about the advantage of maturity and wanting to live with health into my retirement years!
