BettyeB

Hello to all. I wish I had learned about the lap band years ago. I am 69 years old today and my surgery date is Nov. 21st with Dr. Billly in Ventura, CA. I know I am not the oldest bandster, but I haven't read about others my age. I'm wondering how they did. I'm expecting the weight might come off a little slower that for the young folks, but I really plan to have a much better quality of life for myself by the time I hit 70. I started at 320, am 300 now and know that reaching anywhere under 200 will help my health tremendously. My surgeon is wonderful and his office team and support groups are the greatest. I feel well-armed and ready. I've jumped through all the hoops and now is the lull period just waiting for my big date. Reading so many of your success stories here has helped me ever so much.
