Age at surgery?

 I am 50 years old...or young...depending on the day.  From reading this forum and seeing the pictures....50 seems to be a tad older than the average here.  How many of you had this surgery at my age? Is it harder on older people...not that I feel 50 is old age but you know what I mean...What's the concensus on this one?

Personally, to me age is just a number. Weight loss and surgery are tough no matter what age. I had the surgery at 37. I couldn't imagine having it in my 20s. I would have never been this disciplined. An advantage you have, is your wisdom and experience. You know who you are and what you want.

ihad my surgery at 25,but my mom Is 50 and is having it in 2 weeks,she finds doing 6 weeks of optifast a little hard. 

I was 43 when I has my DS done and I know many people who had WLS in their 40's and 50's...Being 50 shouldn't stop you from getting a 2nd chance at life!
