Am I Too Old For Banding Opp

[Sandybells 0]

I truly feel younger now than I did at 30. I have the freedom and the body I only wished for then. I am so ready for PS to change my tummy. I went to a PS seminar the other day and boy am I excited. I really think I can get away with $6000 in our area. Not cheap but better than I expected. You young things are just too insecure to know how really fun aging can be. I really can eat cheaper cause of the seniors menu. And with my band I can share that with my DH so talk about saving money. The perks of aging are just wonderful. My father refused to order off the seniors menu because his age bothered him. Well, It doesn't bother me at all.

Bring it on! My kids are all grown or as I like to call it 'Groan' cause they have all the problems that are behind me.

Eat your heart out young things! You only think you have all the fun! I don't have to worry about getting pregnant. I don't have to worry about what my friends think because we are all comfortable in our own skin.

I could care less where you buy your clothes because I can wear whatever I like and my friends don't wonder if I bought 'it' at the right place.

Don't sweat the small stuff! It is so unimportant and one day you too will know that.

Ladies and Gents of the silver generation. Get the band and start living your life anew. It's a wonderful life!:tt2:

I almost forgot to add I am 60 and 1/2. Remember the days when you couldn't forget the 1/2 year. I am there again.

I am scheduled for surgery May 13th. I will be 75 August 16th. I love my life. It is better than ever. I gained weight when I was put on some medicine and haven't been able to get it off. I have tried every diet under the sun, would lose a few pounds, gain it back and so it goes. I have a little apprehension but after several surgeries of more danger I am confident this will be the tool I have been looking for. I look forward to dispensing with diabetes medicine, high blood pressure medicine and high cholesterole medicine. And to have less hips and tummy will be the icing on the cake - whoops! scratch that off.

So please keep me in your good thoughts and/or prayers. I am not looking to be 21 (wouldn't want to be even if it were possible) just healthier because I intend to Celebrate my 100th birthday. Oh, btw, I am going para-gliding on my 75th!

Thanks for all the opinions and discussions.

Sandybelle, I'm older too but can hardly wait for the "Band". Good to hear from someone like you for encouragement. I have my first appointment with the doctor next Monday, Apr. 28. It's going to be great next summer sitting on the beach with all my three daughters again. They just say "Go for it, Mom, you can do it!".

Jan, Life does get better. Keep us posted after you get your "band". Did you have any problems getting the insurance to pay? They keep telling me they need to hear from my secondary insurance before they give me the go-ahead. Hopefully, all will go well for me and you too.
