Which surgery? I had RNY 2 months before I turned 60. Started out at 365 pre op, got down to 337 on preop diet, and am 200 lbs. today, 5+ years later. Health issues will likely improve with wt loss. That may be more important that 115 pound wt loss. Your surgeon is likely taking into considerations your personal history, body type, etc. with his estimate. I'd highly recommend attending support group meetings prior to surgery. You'll learn a lot of tips to help you through challenges as a new post op. Good luck. DAVE

Topic: Weight loss

Ok I had my first consult yesterday and was wondering if anyone can answer a question. The Dr. said I would probably get down to 185 to 215 from what I am now 299, which sounded like a lot but when I checked I would still be obese according to the BMI calculator. I know it is a great improvement but I am sick of being called obese. I am just nervous and want to make sure it will be worth it in the long run. Also anyone out there have the surgery at age 60???? Any help is greatly appreciated.
