I am 57 and am having my lap band on March 12th. I'm glad to see that there are people my age having success with this surgery.

Hi! I will be 55 this Sat. and I love my band. I feel alive again. I would not trade my band for anything. Except maybe Johnny Depp. Donna

I am scheduled for surgery on March 26. Have you started your liquid diet yet?:thumbup:

I'm 57 and was banded 12-3. I'm REALLY happy with my band . . . and am now anxiously awaiting my second fill because I'm starting to have to really yell at myself to STOP eating lol . . . I'm feeling better . . . I'm moving better (except my arthritis in my back) . . . and I was getting to the point where I thought I wasn't going to be able to even stand up and not walk with a cane anymore. I wouldn't trade this band for anything! Good luck to all!

2 more days and i'm a wreck. the 21 of march is band day and i dont think i'll be able to sleep til after surgery. i quit smoking a year ago so had to put patch on to prevent me from smoking that's how nervous i am so ready for this i can't stand it. i'm actually looking forward to eating nothing,(i'm nuts) but i'm so ready for this and to get this weight off...............susie:thumbup:

Good luck, Susie. Hope you can get some sleep b/4 surgery. Let us know how things go.
