Lady Luck

I wish you all the best in your Journey. You sound about my age and I am a Military Dependent Wife ( husband retired ) he has since passed away in 2005.. I would like to hear all about your surgery and recoup time... I am thinking about doing the surgery myself, My Doctor said yes..When did i want to start. That was just last week.. Have I waited to long in my life...That is why im so interrested in your story.. We seem like we may be close in age.. And Im a woman. But I also want to be around to watch my Grand-kids grow up.. Im just afraid if I dont do something soon I wont fit in the seat on a plane..lol..... So I hope everything went well on your surgery, and you are feeling OK . God Bless you, and best of everything through your Journey..........

Hello everyone.. I hope what I am writing is correct for this forum. Im Brand New and just spoke to my Doctor last week about having Lap Band surgery done.. She said sure did I want to start the process.. I didnt expect that quick of an answer from her... Yes I do want to start the process.. My only concern is that I am 60 years old.. I dont have any major medical problems except that my Chol has gone up in the last 6 months. I do take Blood Pressure meds.. But my blood pressure is perfect.. Is there anyone in my age bracket that can give me any information. I have never had any Surgery and Im a little scared. I sure would like to hear the good and bad about the Lap Band... I am also seeing that there may be different styles of this Lap Band, if that is the case can someone give me that info also.. I hope I have asked to much of anyone.. I still have some years left and would like to enjoy it with my Grand-kids.. If i dont do something soon I will not fit in a seat on the plane...lol... Can anyone help me out.. Thank you
