grannyjany 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Scheduled for lap band by Dr. Oliak in Orange County CA on June 15. Any suggestions on getting over the nerves. I am 60 and worried I may be too old for this to do any good. Any oldies out there let me know your thoughts.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted May 12, 2009 I'm 54 and it NEVER occurred to me I was too old for the Lap Band. What did occur was that I am too old to stay fat and live much longer. You don't see many morbidly obese people in their 70's and 80's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkarryall 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I'm not an "oldie"...but I truly think you are making the right decision. Just remember you will get out of the lapband what you put into it... Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThinknHealthy 0 Posted May 12, 2009 I have a friend in her 70s who had it done in January. She's lost over 50 lbs and doing great. Age appears not to be a huge factor. Trust your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
