What is the maximum recommended age to have LBS?

In general the range is 18-60, but I will be 63 on 2/12. I have completed the seminar, 6 month diet, psych evaluation, consultation with bariatric surgeon, and am waiting for insurance approval.

I was 60 in October when I was banded--and believe me, it was the best thing I have EVER done for my body!!!

If you go through with it, you will find you have so-o-o much more energy and vitality. Things I used to blame on "old age" I now know were from "over weight!"

You deserve every chance to have the most quality of life you can get, no matter what your age! And I DO think they have raised the limits--depends on the health each individual person.

There is a link for older banded persons farther down the Home Page...

Good luck to you, woman! :tongue:

Please, both of you, join us on the sixties thread. We would love to have you there. One of us is actually 70 and I'm not far behind at 67. A couple of us are 69. You are not too old and don't let anyone tell you , you are.

Hey Patchelton, I'll be 41 on 12 Feb! Great birthday, huh?

I was 66 when I had my surgery. I breezed right through it with no pain or complications.
