I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?

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

Congrats. So glad you are doing so well. Keep up the great work!

The workshops for April are full. My only hope of getting in is if someone backs out or doesn't come up with the money. Otherwise I'm not getting in till May and they won't submit to insurance till workshops are done. After that I get a surgery date. So PLEASE PLEASE I hope I get in the April workshops. May is so far away and then it may mean a June surgery date... that would be terrible timing.

April workshops are full with no backouts. May it is. My team is wonderful and are trying to get ins. preapproval now so I can get a surgery date within a day or two of completing my last workshop on May 21. Crossing my fingers...

51 here!

I'll be 50 this year. RNY surgery is April 22. I had all my preop testing done today. It's getting more "real"...It's like a roller coaster ride of mixed emotions :)

Thanks!! I'm super excited and ready to get on with it. Been in working on the process since October.

Hey ladies...my surgery is Monday! Somebody pinch me :)

Congrats!! Only a couple more days!!

Thanks! Can't wait to be on the other side of this journey.

70 here. Waiting for a surgery date to get my band out, then wait another six weeks to 3 months to have bypass. So by the time bypass takes place will probably be 71.

I am 55 and my surgery is next Friday, April 26th

Good luck to both of you! We'll be anxious to hear.
