Am i too old?

I have been to one seminar, and I have my first appointment with the surgeon in 3 weeks. I already have an appointment with the physicologist and nutritionist in 4 weeks. I have already been cleared by my ins. I have read all the blogs and it seems that everyone is between 20 and 40 yrs old. I weigh around 220 and I am pretty good condition but take some meds. Am I too old? Is there anyone out there my age that has been banded?

How old are you?

I'm not sure how old you are, but as long as the surgeon says you're a good candidate then age isn't a problem. I just turned 50 (the week I was banded) and I've met several people in their 60's here. Good luck! -BG
