Frustr8 7,886 Posted December 16, 2018 What procedure are you referring to? I am a 73 (December 26,1945) RuN bypasser, we have many sleevers who are 59-68, I have an ESG friend in Dayton Ohio, I'm sure you can find lapbands who are happy still. Probably Sips , MGB, maybe Obera balloon or 2. Name your procedure you're querying about. And 99% of us would not go back to our old lives! 3 Bari_KS, SeattleLady and morphing Mo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morphing Mo 12 Posted December 17, 2018 I'm scheduled to have the gastric sleeve in January. I've been binge watching YouTube vlogs nonstop and everyone looks so young. I want to do this for better health and longevity.

tratra4u 9 Posted December 17, 2018 Feeling too old for this procedure. Anybody out there 50+? Halla back.Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile appI am 48 and had my sleeve bypass on 12-11 It is so far the best thing I have ever done in my life, I have been vary lucky and have had no problems. The reason I made this choice is because of all of the pain I have in my legs and feet. I had a stroke 4 yrs ago. Then 4 month later I had accepted meningitis was in a coma for a week, I have chronic lyme disease and then got Gillian berriet syndrome so over 4 yrs I gained 179 lbs I almost lost my life. I now have 2 grandsons 2 and 3 and I cant even move without major pain. I feel this will get me my life back and give me the chance to live. I think age has nothing to do with wanting to feel good about yourself, 50 is the new 30. Take the chance to be healthy. I have already lost 19 lbs and can't wait yo continue to get healthy. Let me know how things go for you. Get excited to start your life again.Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app 5 Muskegon, Tamarita, morphing Mo and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
