I am 66 yrs old - almost 7 weeks out and 35 pounds down!!!! Never too old.

I'm 58 and waiting for my date, but you can never be too old to start improving your health! Even my 94 y.o. father keeps walking 3 miles a day in the high desert to stay fit. He's had colon cancer twice, but only started getting "in shape" after he hit 70.

@@LoreLu LOVE LOVE LOVE your Dad. Mine is upper 70's, 4x cancer and still goes it! Age, like your weight, is a number on the scale. It is NOT the rule of someones' life.

I was 47... I think 40s/50s are a very common age group to have this surgery! Plenty of people younger and older too.
