Hi Lisa Marie, Happy Birthday to you also! I am just now starting to get a little nervous with surgery being only 4 days away. Did you have any problems?

There's a forum divided by age groups. I know the fifties are pretty active, and there are quite a few sixties too!

Sixties - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

HI, Thanks, I have found the 60's thread and have posted to it. How did you get that neat weight loss tracker on your posting? Congratulations on your 79 LBS!!!

Thanks! Here's a link to the instructions for the ticker:
