Hi. I'm pretty new here (just found this site last week). I'm getting banded on Wednesday, Dec 17th. I'm wondering how many of you are over 50? From what I've read, most of you are younger -- some much younger. I'm worried that I won't heal as quickly and that my skin won't shrink. I'm afraid I'll have all this skin hanging down and my boobs will look like tube socks with golf balls in them. Doesn't that sound sexy? Anyone out there with similar concerns?

hi, i am in my late 40's and yes i do worry some. i have started using 2 pd weight when i walk. i am hoping that helps some. if not then one day i will have a breast lift and reduction if i have to. it will be worth it all. and hey we are still young!!! right?:tongue2:

Hi: I am not 50, but getting there. Anyway, check out the forum for age groups on thise site. Here is the link for the 50 group.
