I'll be 50 in November ...Just starting my journey. Already met with the surgeon. Next week is nutritionist and then the 18th I have my psychological evaluation. After that, it will be submitted to insurance for approval. Keeping fingers crossed it all goes as planned. Can't believe i actually made that first step. Would love to hear other stories in our age group.

Welcome and good luck your surgery will be here before you know it, mine is March 11, 2013. I am so excited

Hi! I am 53 yr old, I am having RNY next week on Wednesday! Excited to get going, and scared a bit too. When I planned this surgery I didn't plan on having 3 adult step kids move in with us this summer! We have boomerangs. I am not sure how to make everything work with my recovery, but I have waited so long to do this that I don't want to put it off any longer.

Looking forward to getting to know you and everyone else!

I am sure you will do well ! You've waited this long . Just think that these new boomers will be your support group while recovery is happening ! I was at my brothers during Christmas for mine . Was the best thing having people around who cared and love me !! Good luck !! Wish you well
