I was running a scan over on pubmed and found this abstract of a study comparing bariatric surgery outcomes in people over 65 compared to younger people. Turns out some of the variables were even better.

Thanks. That was interesting for us older ones who are on the board. I'm sure you know there are several of us in our 60s and even 70s. As far as I can tell from posts we've all done fine with our sleeves. Consistent with article although it was on bypass patients. Think us older folks would do even better with sleeve.

Hi Rosie:

Yeah I've got my eye out for you guys. My mother died of pancreatic cancer when she was 79. She was diagnosed when she was 75 and there was a conversation at some point whether surgery was "worth it" since she was over some number, seventy I think.

My mother said excuse me? It's worth it.
