Is anyone over 65? And what concerns does your Dr have, if any?

My Doctor seems to have no concerns. I am going to have the sleeve. However I have concerns. I have never had any surgeries, other than being heavy I have been healthy. So the whole being put under scares me. I have recently been diagnosed with arthritis and sleep apnea and getting the weight off will be a plus, also borderline diabetic so out weighing what the future could hold I am going for the surgery. Through my research I am finding that the over sixty manage just as well as younger people. Living here in Florida I want to enjoy my retirement so looking forward to this new journey. Wish you luck on your disicion.

Good luck to you, too. Thanks for your comments. When is your surgery scheduled?

I have done all the required but I have asked for a cardio work up to make sure I don't have unknown heart issues having that done next week I am thinking June or July hopefully my sugar is way high and want to nip that quick as possible. Have you seen a surgeon yet to go over options?
