From the photo you look young. I am 62 and will have my VS surgery Sept. 4. I went through my 30, 40, 50 over weight. If I am every going to be my proper weight it's got to happen now as time is getting shorter. If you can lose weight on your own then I would seek help to keep the weight off. This WLS is a life changing deal with no reverse. I would explore all options. Remember the older you get it's difficult to lose the weight. Hope this helps. I wish you the very best.
