I am 62 went from the band to by pass surgery was on April 12 was at 320 now at 287 needless to say I had no complications except I was allergic to the pain meds
I had my band removed and converted to gastric bypass on April 12 2017. Since the surgery I have gone from 320 to 287 as of today. Only thing I do miss is my morning coffee but since the surgery I have no more foot or knee pain. I have not needed my diabetes meds. Good luck to you the first couple of days is painful but after that you will do fine.
