Best of luck to you! There are plenty of people having gastric bypass after 50. You'll do great :)

I was just searching the site for people in my age group and you. I notice you stated your surgery was this year. How are you doing after surgery?

HI @@Jazziejt

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE ASKING ME LOL BUT I'M DOING GREAT. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE ENERGY AND JUST GENERALLY FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. MY CARDIOLOGIST TOOK ME OFF OF 4 pills AND REDUCE 1 DOWN TO 50% OF WHAT I WAS TAKING. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I EVER MADE.

HEY @@StabMyFinger HOW'S IT GOING FOR YOU SINCE THE SURGERY?

I just got my date: December 1. I'm 61, and very excited about this new "tool" I will have in my life-long weight struggle. But I'm also fearful of the surgery, complications, and my reliance on food for comfort. I think I'll struggle with the "head hunger" part of it. But i am excited!

I am 60, surgery was this year August, 2015 this was the best decision I ever made. I am one of the those people who need a wake up call. I am more aware of understanding how and what kind of foods that work with my body. This is a life changing surgery for me. I am really excited about reaching my weight goal of 140, the doc say 160. I want to say congrats to anyone that has made this decision to have surgery.
