aussieladies Introduction

Hello,

Not sure if I am in the right place for introductions.

I was 62 in may this year. I weigh 124Kilos. I live in New South Wales, Australia.

I truly thought I was too old to be banded untill I saw the ages of some of the members on this forum.

I have tried many diets over the years with no luck. I always go back to my old habbits. I admit I comfort eat but am really scared now as 2 weeks ago I needed to be put on medication for diabetes. My ankles swell terribly which makes my getting around almost impossible. As for excercise my feet and ankles hurt too much to walk any distance. Because of my inactivity I am scared of putting on more weight. Does anyone know if there is an age limit for lapbanding surgery in NSW, Australia please?

I live on the north coast of NSW, but this surgery is not done in my country town.

Hugs Beth. :help:

Welcome to LBT! I don't know what is the age limit they have there, but just would like to wish you luck! I bet you fall within the limit, so just give the doctor a call and they will tell you.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
