Starting out at age 45? How common?

Anyone else out there just getting started in their mid 40s? I keep reading most people doing this are younger.

    2 weeks post op from RNY. I am 46 1/2 lol In my orientation, nutrition and support groups, I appeared to be among the youngest. We are great candidates...focused, life history, and many years left to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
    Loved this old thread and seeing everyone's success in the profiles. YAaaay!!!

    Well Hello,

    Wow....I'm not sure why, but I expected the opposite. This whole process seem to be taking such a long time. Last month I attended an intro class. I'm scheduled to attend orientation on 4/27 and it's taking forever for this day to come LOL. I guess I'm too anxious to move forward at such a high speed. So tell me, how has your journey been thus far? I plan to go with RYN.
