Heavens NO!! You are not too old! I had my sleeve in December, turned 50 in January. So happy I did it. My dad is almost 92 and I plan on living that long, if not longer!! Go for it, you will not be sorry!!

My 27 yr old daughter had a rny in Sept. and has lost 95 lbs, it has made a major difference in her health and I was with behind her 100% since then I was denied life insurance coverage because of my health and weight I'm 52 and have rhuematoid arthritis, high blood pressure and weigh 250 lb, but is 52 too old to have this surgery done? The sleeve is covered by my uhc insurance Thanks,:tongue_smilie:Carla

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
