I'm 63 and will be having my VSG on October 1, 2019. Now, I don't know about you, but I get tired being asked about why I would do something "at my age." OMG! I'm in really good health physically. It's just this 4th grader that's been strapped to me for the last 20+ years that's causing most of my medical issues. My doctor says lose the weight, and most of my friends would ask why "at my age" would I go through this (if I told them)? I know my husband & adult children, as well as other family members and friends have watched my struggles with weight and "love me just the way I am." But I don't! I want to live a very long life, I want to be mobile for the duration and I want better health! So, age be damned! I'm heading to Mexico and a new lifestyle!

It looks like this topic has not been active for a bit so here it goes. I'm 63 and am have VGS on 10/1/19. I would love to hear from other who are around my age to see what they are thinking or going through.

I’m 67. My scheduled date is June 17, 2019 for the gastric sleeve.

Well hello Shashy, I FINALLY have someone my age to talk to! So when was your Birthday? I turned 73 on December 26th, have a 9 month old RNY, her name is Precious Pouch, I fought over 3 years to gain her, she is Not Grateful, tries her best to rule my every moment, and wins most of the time! On the other hand I have lost, if scale figures are correct, 111 pounds since surgery which puts me at a BMI of 31.1, my High BMI was almost 52 a short year ago, almost to the date. So pretty doggone good for ME. It hasn't been a perfect textbook recovery, some things still to be ironed out, but I will make it. We Baby Boomers are made out of strong steel, not plastic or fiberglass like the Young Ones, we last and last, and we don't easily blow away at the first blast of wind. So Hurray for the late 40s and early 50s, we were built GOOD!
