Where are all you baby boomers? I had surgery on 9/24...two weeks ago. Down 40 before surgery...20 after...60 total. I did lots of prep before surgery (exercise...lean green diet 3 months...immense amount of research) . So glad i did...sailed through surgery and in only 2 weeks feeling great! We baby boomers are tough. I still have 100 lbs to go but have a new lease on life...never too old to learn...look out to my grandkids...her comes a new granny...lucky if you can keep up with her!

You GO Girl. Great attitude. I became a Grandma for the first time 5 months ago, had my surgery 2.5 weeks ago. The turning point for me was wanting to play with that baby girl and wanting to live to see her grow,

I am 57 and my biggest reason for wanting to have the rny is to be healthy to enjoy my grandchildren., They are my motivation. I have been so blessed I need to be able to enjoy the blessings and make memories with them.

Here is to healthy grannies

We really need a Healthy Granny group! I certainly want to be with them for as long as possible...but it is the QUALITY of time I am really going to enjoy...hiking with them...biking with them...just getting down on the floor with them. They are 3/5/7/9...

Hello grandmas I'm glad you guys are around. My grandma is sick. Just found out like 2 weeks ago. She's in Dominican republic from my biological dad side.

I had surgery on 5/29 at 60. 56 pounds down and around 50 to go. My grandchildren are getting a new grandma. This week finally below 200 for the first time in 30 years. I would rather spend my remaining 30-40 years in good health!

My surgery date is 12/13. Am 60 years old. My doc said it used to be unusual for folks our age to have the surgery but our numbers are growing. Right now I am at 412. Starting the three-day-protein drinks today

Hey Glen...glad to see another 60-ish person out there! I am 2 months post op...feeling absolutely incredible after losing 45 pre op and 45 post op. I am only halfway to goal but even at this point....soooo worth it! Keep on posting under 60s and i will keep checking on you.

Thank granny

I am on my third day of the liquid Protein diet and surgery is in 10 days...soooo eager

So glad to see other tough baby boomers here! I'm 63 and am having band to rny revision on Monday. I went to the hospital this morning to have my pre-op tests done and to finish the paperwork.

Nervous and excited! I wonder how much our age factors into complications and recovery. Any ideas?

Good luck Glennr--you are just a few days after me. Vicki had her surgery yesterday. Granny, you are an inspiration and give me hope for great results--even at our age!! (don't you just love that expression...)

Thank much

My doc says the complications from age have been reduced dramatically because there has been a rash of people born in the late 40s and 50s having the surgery. My wife is more nervous than I am

Six days post op

Feel great. No pain no nauseau

No rush to begin full liquid diet on Friday

Glad to find others over 60. My RNY surgery was 10/15/12. I started the process in February, 2012 at 236. Came home from the hospital at 218 and I'm 189 as of this morning.

I hope all of you are doing well too.

I'm 66 and surgery date 2/26. I'm type 2 diabetic and doing this for grandkids, get off meds, and myself. I have been out of pocket $850 since 1/1 for meds. That is my part after ins. The surgery will pay for itself. BTW Medicare pays for this. I had to pay the surgeon out of my pocket, but that's because he doesn't file Medicare due to their low pay.
