Hi I'm 56 years old and I have about 35 kg to 40kg to loose well I would hope that I can. I'm new to this forum, I have been told my surgery date will be on the 19/2/2016 I am excited but also scared of post op complications. I do think about how much my health issues will improve. But I'm still a little concerned. I have been reading that the people who are doing the RNY are younger than me so I would like to hear from some people around my age who have done this procedure and are post op.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm 57 overweight about 60 pounds. I have severe reflux even triggered by water at times. I have very managed care Group Health of Washington, don't think they will cover surgery if I decide to do it. I also have kidney tumor that is very slow growing but eventually will need to come out. I'm thinking of the RNY but don't know....any advice would be great, I'm not afraid of going to Mexico if I have to. I've done Nutrisystem, Medifast, Weight Watchers, HMR, the Drops, .... All work until I go off the diet then bam fat again. I'm 5'9" and 248 lbs.

Im getting the bypass on Feb 8th. I'm 49 as of 1/16 this year. I frequently go to the post op forum for gastric bypass, and they have one for gastric sleeve also. I've found people to be very friendly and offer great advice. Sooner than I think, I'll be a post op person! Keep reading and visiting this site, you will find anything you needs to answer your concerns ????!

I'm having a revision from the band to bypass. Focus on the two week pre-op diet. You will be amazed some of the weight and other changes during this period.

"@sylvi" I'm 51... You will do great!!!
