yes! I'm 63 (will be 64 in March). I had my bypass August 11. So far have lost 70 lbs and I feel 200% better. I was in so much pain walking, moving around, even sleeping I don't think I realized it until the weight started to come off. I get around so much easier and have more energy. Sometimes the weight loss seems to be VERY slow, but I was warned by my surgeon that I would only lost 6 to 8 lbs a month (after that initial period), so I knew what to expect. I have started to notice some hanging skin in areas - my upper arms and the backs of my thighs which is a little spooky, but I wouldn't trade how I feel for anything. Hope it's going well for you!

Glad to hear it's helped with the aches and pains involved with getting older! I hope to get a date In January-I have one more appointment before I can start to nag them, lol. The only other thing I worry about is time released meds. I was told that those would shoot through my system without being absorbed. Have you heard anything similar?
