    I'm 54 and had my surgery on 1/22/19. My husband is very fit and very active. We used to do outdoor things together but as my weight got bigger my back pain started keeping me from walking or cycling.

Respect my age people- I graduated without the help of Google, Siri and Cortana- and I did it My Way!
I’m 51 and I know I can do this. I think a 70 year old can be successful if they really stick to the plan
And I am trying really hard, because I believe in my future.

I'm 53 and I just had gastric sleeve surgery a month ago. It's never too late to get healthy.

And never too late to be worthwhile, my song? of life is different than many but it's pretty okay. I still can sing ?my melody at 73, it's pretty quiet if you're dead in a grave and I found out I don't want to be THERE yet. I woke up with arthritis. hurting but went and got my Carafate for ulcers, Ditropan for bladder spasms and Zofran to keep the nausea down, laid back down after a potty ?break, got 2 more hours until my TPN is done, I'll see if my leg pain gets better, if not, I'll pop a couple? Tylenol, save the Tramadol and Norco for something more serious. And start to sip my bottle? of Propel, nobody mentioned I would be doing 2 oz☕ cups this far out, but it works out to 8oz per hour, and I'll make my 64 oz today,even if it is in small increments. Snowy snowy here, close to 5 inches, but I didn't plan on doing anything outside anyway. Weighed frolicking in the snow⛄ verses falling, breaking arms, legs, hips, better safe inside than sorrows in the ❄snowdrifts. My bones don't just bend and bruise, they go CRACK and then there is a long ?healing ahead! No Thank You Very Much!
And with such a good attitude, I'm sure You'll do fine!

Feeling too old for this procedure. Anybody out there 50+? Halla back.

I will be 56 in April and my surgery is scheduled for Feb 5th. I'm so looking forward to it and a new lease on the next stage of my life.
