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

Hi all. I’m 55 and scheduled for RNY on 10/15/19.

It is great to read this thread and hear how well those over 50 are doing!

58 (will turn 59 in 2 weeks) having RNY 8/19/19

I am 54 and will be having a RYN Sept. 16th, I had a Sleeve done 21 years ago.

Why did u need to do a RNY after doing the sleeve ? Was cod reflux too bad or did the sleeve not work anymore ?

I had GERD from the git go with the sleeve surgery. But more recently I have developed a fistula (a hole going from my sleeve to the remaining stomach) I guess they didn't remove the remaining stomach back then. I wish my surgery would hurry up because I a nauseous a lot of the time and they don't want me to lose weight prior to surgery.

I’m 57 and my gastric bypass was 10/2/19.

I'm 65 and I'm getting a 10 year old failed lap band revised to a RNY in November. I was worried about my age but my doctor isn't too concerned about it other than having me get a cardiac clearance done in addition to the medical one.

Go for it! I had it at 61. Absolutely no regrets. I think the healing is somewhat slower than for the lap band, but it’s that way for everyone! Best wishes,

Oh I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm only (wow, I feel young!) 55 and my hubby thinks I'm too old to have the surgery. I'm going to have him read all of this thread to ease his mind a bit. Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences and stories.

I’m 51 and having revision from band to rny November 26th.

I’m 62 and will be having a gastric bypass procedure on December 16th.

Hello Everyone! I now 53, I had revision done from lapband to gastric bypass 12.10.18. Thus far I have lost 100 lbs. Sad to say i wish it would stop. Lol.

No major complication, now I am dealing with a lot of snagging skin, butt look like elephant legs, breast look like IV bags and arms look like a turkey neck.?. Health wise I feel pretty good. Wishing everyone the best of luck, please, please follow your doctor instructions.
