I am SO happy to find this page! I started the process in July when I was 69 years old. I have since turned 70. I agree with Rosey.....the only fear I have is continuing to live as a fat lady. I don't have a date yet. Finished with all the tests including sleep study, etc. What point are you at?

my incontinence got way better after surgery. It was gone for 9 years but it's starting to come back if I cough or sneeze. I'll be 64 on the 25th of this month.

Hi Rosey Posey! I am hoping for relief from incontinence too! We'll see!

Welcome Judy, you're never too old is my thinking and I have absolutely no regrets. Even though I'm beginning to look like a deflated balloon with no clothes on I really don't care. As long as I start to look good IN them is enough for me. I like that I don't have to worry about squeezing through gaps or hope that 100kg weight limit chair will hold me and not crumple into a heap. The downside is that my formerly well cushioned backside gets very uncomfortable in a solid chair and I'm beginning to disappear behind the steering wheel of my car. So go for it lovely lady and let us know how you are.

I'm so glad I found this group. Im 68 and having a sleeve on
October 17th. I keep thinking I'm too old to do this and it's stupid of me to want to. BUT i want to.

Hi ginnylee. I am new to group. 61 years old. Almost finished completing pre-op tests. No date yet. I have many reservations about doing the surgery. These are related to potential side effects. Nausea, diarrhea, staple issues, not being able to follow the diet. I am taking it one step at a time and am optimistic that things will work out.
