Hi I am new here my surgery is on may 27 fast approaching I am 54 years old and pretty darn nervous I am afraid of complications and my age recovery the statistics I have read but I have no choice its a health and life choice cause I couldn't stay on the path my family is very supported but I have sworn them to secrecy Because people really are ignorant about weight loss surgery I know I was any ways thats all for now anyone got some tips or just chat that would be awesome thanks Gloria

I had my surgery at 53 ten weeks ago and just turned 54. It was not the easiest recovery for me and I had minor bumps in the road, but I wouldn't change my decision to have surgery.

I was very scared, even though I have had over 10 surgeries. But, trust your Dr and do what they say and I bet you will do great and come away very happy!

I had a choice. Die on the path I was on or chose to do this to help prolong my life.

Congrats & best wishes!
