"older" VSG'rs???

Just wanted to see if anyone out there had their VSG surgery in their 50's + ...My mother is interested in having the surgery but is scared because she is "older" and I am trying to prove to her that  people of all ages have weight loss surgery! I am also trying to get her to come on this site as well! Soooo if there is anyone that can give me some info incase I am wrong!??! Thanks <3

My husband just turned 55 and is having his in a couple of months. My uncle also had his at 55. No problems whatsoever.

I'm 49! Just had mine two months ago and doing great! There are folks in their sixties on here...

thank you sooo much ladies!  her age is what has been keeping her from considering this surgery!! Cant wait to show her this!! :)

I am 56 and you can tell her that it makes you healthier at ANY age!

 I got mine one month after turning 60,  10 months ago and this is THE BEST THING i have ever done for myself.   My health is so improved not to mention all the other wonderful changes taking place in my body and my life.  Tell her lots of us do this. There are people in their 70s i've seen on here.   :o) jeani

57 when I had my surgery.....1st surgery of my life...not even tonsils.

I was 55 when I had it done, 56 now, and I feel better that I have in years!  I feel much younger than my age, I have much more energy than before and I am off all meds!  My kids are 31, 28 and 16 years and they are so happy for me and love the new me!  I have such a good outlook on life and am so happy I had it done!  Tell your mom to GO FOR IT!
