  6. I am hoping to have surgery in late November or early December, I am a grandma to 8 young grand kids and don't wish to feel miserable during the holidays. Doing without food or on preop liquid diet of no concern to me. However wanting to know if it would be better to wait till after the holidays or about how long after surgery until you feel good enough to be up and about. I am 55 this month and am very eager to move forward to my surgery but not ruin holidays for my grand babies. I am through all things required for insurance approval and have my appointment on November 19th when I know dates will be offered. Please any and all advice welcome and appreciated!

  9. Thanks. For the advice. I am 55. 5'2" /245. I know age is also a factor. I realize the commitment I'm making and I know it may be difficult along the way. But what r your stats. Would you still make the same choice today if knowing what you do?
