I am 64 yrs old and have been looking into open surgery but have decided against it because of my age. I am wondering if there are many my age that have had the lapband and how they are doing. Thankyou -any replies will be welcome. abbydabber

Hi,

Hey!! I just turned 60 and I'm going for it! This is for my HEALTH and a few more years of quality life! Right now I'm on my pre-op liquid diet (not fun) and will be banded Wednesday, Nov. 29. Am I nervous? You bet! But I can't lose weight on my own. Hopefully the band will be my tool to get me back to good health!

Go for it! :clap2:

Hi,

I am 59 and having the surgery tomorrow morning. I am nervous but getting very excited about starting a new healthier life style.

I was 62 and 2 months and love my band. I like 16 pounds being to goal.

Get er done abbydaber and good luck.

My dad was 70 when he had the surgery last April. He flew right through without any complications. He has lost about 65 pounds and feels great.

I say go for it...you won't regret it

thanks to everyone that took the time to respond to my question about oldie
