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

I am not 50 yet only 44 and having my procedure Feb 6

68 with 90 day post op vgs

Age is a number. I had my surgery in August 2016 at age 55. I'm 57 now. I've lost about 150 pounds. I am a nationally ranked fencer in my age group (24th among women 50-59 and 33rd for all women over 40), can deadlift 235 pounds and back squat 225.

What's old? I have more energy than either my 19 or 16 year old daughters. I'm in better shape. I regularly get checked out by people at the gym (especially from behind) who are then a bit surprised when I turn around and they realize I'm not 30. (Although I look pretty good for my age.)

Age is a number. Don't let it define you. the only regret I have is waiting until I was 55 to do this.

I am 72 and had my sleeve done 1-14-19

Hi Grandma Sue- I'm 73 as of December 26th, an RnY of 4+months, nice to see someone my age on here! We are the Baby Boomers that make life and other things very cool!Welcome, Welcome from Central Ohio and me!

I'm 53! My surgery should be late March early April. So I'll be 54 then but my Dr says he has 78 year old patients!!!

I am 45 and had mine gastric bypass may of 2018. And there were others i met older than me in recovery. So no you arent too old.

Hi, I am new to this entire bariatric surgery. I am due to have my surgery on Feb 25 and will be 52 on Feb 22. Happy Birthday to me. But, can’t wait to live the life I had prior to surgery. Looking forward to talking with you all through this process. Thanks in advance. ?

I did a sleeve at 68. Not looking back! Good luck to you it may a little rough to start but don’t let that part get you down!! The results are worth it. I’m down 45 lbs in 3 months

Not quite 50 yet but real close, 48. U’re never to old to get healthy!!!!

Amen!

Woo hoo![emoji870]️

Good question. I'm 52. I don't feel too old for the surgery since it's never too late to change your life. However, I have noticed that most youtubers are really young, comfort with social media made be a factor, there. I also read that some of the surgeons say that age is one of the determining factors in results. How are you fairing 50+ers. Have your results been as expected? Have any of you reached normal BMI?
