I'm 50 and scheduled for surgery in early February. I too have failed at every diet including the lap band and am afraid of failing once again. I'm trying to make changes in preparation of the 3 week pre op liquid fast required by my surgeon. I would love to connect with others going through this journey!

Feb. 10! So ready for this.

I'm also 50 and scheduled for surgery in February. This has been a long and difficult decision for me too. I have done every diet, even had a band many years ago yet still I have failed and continue to gain weight. Turning 50 was actually the catalyst for me as I have become more aware of my health and mortality, I can no longer ignore the impact being overweight is having. I've done a lot of research and my feeling now is that I really don't have anything to lose by having the surgery. I'm going to work really hard at this and hope I'm successful this time.

Feb. 10 for me!
