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

My joints have been bad since high school and I have other chronic pain issues. This will definitely make it easier to get around.

I go to acoustic music festivals in the summer and need to be able to do a lot of walking. I need to be hauling instruments not hobbling about on a walker. :wub:

I am 59. I had a revision surgery from sleeve to gb on 1/17/13. I am losing slowing but am considered "lite weight". I am four weeks out tomorrow and have only lost 13 lbs but I am losing. It was a challenge going through menopause, hysterectomy, breast cancer, etc. I asked to have revision as I continued to struggle with my sugar addictions. I feel like I am back on track. Getting enough protein in per day takes commitment.

Well tomorrow is my day have to be at hospital at 6 surgery at 7:30 I'm ready my granddaughter asked me if I was smeared I told her no I have a very good dr and I've know or meet most of my nurses at the hospital cause they were his patience to

Welcome everyone! Glad to see some of us baby boomers taking charge of our lives. My surgery was 12-10-12 and I'm beginning to feel really good. Not setting any weight loss records but have lost almost 40 lbs so I'm going the right direction. Hope everyone with recent and upcoming surgeries is doing well. Keep us posted!

My surgery is still coming. I'm close now though. I have blood tests and then see the surgeon!! Hopefully will have surgery by May. It seems to take forever between appointments.

I am getting a bit nervous. I shoulder surgery a month and a half ago, been in physical therapy. All of the sudden I am having extreme pain and my shoulder has no mobility can't raise my arm up at all. Saw my orthopedic surgeon and he said I have frozen shoulder. This is massive inflammation in the actual capsule (center) of the joint. So I told him I have to have more mobility and no pain by next week. He usually prescribes anti-inflammatory meds but of course I can't take them. So tomorrow I go in for a needle guided (with ultra sound) injection of cortisone.

So I have been preoccupied with my shoulder so much I haven't had time to think about next weeks surgery. Following my preop diet well have lost 5 lbs in the last week. Getting nervous and excited. Thanks for asking!
