I'm new to this forum, so I just wanted to say hi, and see if there are any others out there around my age. I am 72, but people tell me I don't look it (yeah right LOL) I had the lap band 5 weeks ago, and I hope to get my first fill on Monday. Everything is going pretty good for me, and I really want to get some restriction so I am not so hungry. At first I wasn't hungry, but once I start eating, I want to eat more and more. Anyway, I would like to lose 60 more lbs. I have already lost 25 since Feb. 25. So I am right on target. I live near Boise Idaho. Bye for now. McKenna:tt2:

Yes, at 72 I decided to have the lap band. I have been banded for 5 weeks now. I have lost 25 lbs so far (10 before susrgery, and 15 since surgery) I feel great, but sometimes, I could eat the "north end out of a south bound cow!" I hopefully get my first fill on Monday 5/5/08. I am not married - have been a couple of times though, but have been single for about 30 years. I don't mind being single, I have gotten used to it. I do have grown children, grand-children and greats. I have a cat named Sugar who is a love. When I get thin, I wouldn't mind meeting a nice man (yeah right!), but that would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. All the good ones are already married. I envy the women who have wonderful mates. I live near Boise Idaho. Formerly, Sacramento, Placerville, and San Clemente California. I don't really miss it though, because I have a beautiful home here, and I travel quite a bit. Love to hear from some of you older gals. Bye for now.
