Nybody out there starting this adventure that is in their 50's?

I look forward to hearing about your journey!

I am 55. Had Roux en Y on April 27. So far no complications and very little pain. Stayed in the hospital two days. Took a little Tylenol the first day home. It was a long process that started in August 2014. If you're just starting out, be patient. Your day will come. Expect to have days that you question your decision to do this. Keep moving forward. I am glad I did.

Hello,

I met with my surgeon today and we both agreed that the RNY would be best for me! Now, I just have to wait for the approval for the actual surgery! I'm very happy and I got Dr. Irani. I'm looking forward to moving forward with this

I'm 55 and 1 month post op. I had gastric bypass

I'm feeling great

I'm 51 years old I had my RNY 4 1/2 months ago (2/9/15). Did experience issues palpitations, constipation, feet and leg swelling. My recovery time was 6 weeks. My surgeon had to remove my gallbladder during surgery. Since I've started to exercise my weightloss has increased. I have lost 89 Lbs.

I am 53. Had surgery on the 15th of June.

I'm new to the group & had my RNY 6-15-15!! I'm 55!!

I was 55 when I had my surgery. Am 58 now. Started at 265, am 142 this morning. Been one of the best decisions I ever made. Did it for me but wanted to do a lot more with hubby. Then he died on me in May of last year. So life has been kinda screwed up.. A lot of things you can't control, but eating is one thing I can. So that helps me stay sane.

Gotcha beat. Lapband placed in 08 age 51. Revision to RNY 7/15 age 58. It is by far the best decision ever made. Wish my sister would consider.

I am 57. I had a lap band placed at 49, and now waiting for insurance approval for revision to rny. Wish I had done the rny to begin with and I would have enjoyed these last seven years a whole lot more,

You are making a tuff and great decision! Steep adjustment curve, old habits to new. Start or find a support group. I live in a very rural area but lots of people have had surgery.
