age factor

hi all, thinking of lap-band...actually Dr. says that is the way he wants to go cause of age.. 60 .boo...any coments or suggestions? live in small comm. in south central fla and he is in ocala..150miles away, but willing to go there.

I suggest you check out the over 50 forum...you will find our that there are lots of us out here. It is very interesting and informative...come on, take a peek - I'm sure you will stay!

personally i think you should do what YOU want..and ifyou want a bipass... get one... there are plenty of drs out there who willbe willing to perform one

As an over 50, way over, go for what you want. My doctor did not have a problem with rny. I am pre-op. Marla

baloney!! i was 58 yrs old when i had my roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery. age was never mentioned to me once either by my primary, the surgeon, cardiologist, not once. follow your instincts and good luck to you. I am and have been fine. carol 9/3/03 288/187
