I'm noticing more young women getting surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else had it in 50 or 60s and how you did?

Go for it.
I'm five weeks post op and down 41lbs.
G-d Bless.

Thank you! I am excited, but scared as well. However the surgeon has been doing this for over 30 years.

Everybody is different. I went back after two weeks. One week seems a bit tight.

You will do great. Grey hair in a surgeon is awesome.

Had my surgery, age 71, on a Thursday home on Friday and was ready to return to work on Monday. Actually took a week off to be on the safe side. But on Monday took dog to Vet and after that went grocery shopping. For me the faster I return to work (office work sitting all day) I can't do as much damage. I feel I'll do more damage at home finding things I shouldn't be doing.

Awesome! You did that! I am in a office sitting as well, surgery hasn't been scheduled as of yet, he only does surgery on Mondays and Wednesdays. Hoping for a Monday.

I’m 53, had my sleeve done on 10/5. Mine hurts if I swallow to much at one time...tiny sips only and water level seems to not go down. Keep going, your pouch will get used to it and stop hurting!

I was 51 when I had my RNY, and although I have had some significant complications (marginal ulcer & marked hypotension,) I still think it is the best of all my 14 surgeries. (Yes, 14-cosmetic, orthopedic, female, etc.) I just wish I had my RNY 25 years ago! All that wasted time being unhappy about my body!

Anymore for the Post 50 and Starting to Look Spiffy RnY club? Always seeking new members, I'm very very nice, I have let nice Sleevers visit and take part!???

I am 51 and just had it done last Wednesday.... So far so good.
