Seeking VLOGS on You Tube of VSG folks who had surgery after 50

I've finally made my mental commitment after a year of Keto yielded some loss. I and have my surgeon meeting scheduled for next week. As a person who obsesses over knowledge and details I have been watching EVERY VLOG (video blog) I can find on you tube of those who have gone through this journey. They are immensely helpful, and comforting, to see their moods before, their recovery and watch them transform. Losing Lauren (local girl with an accent I can get behind!), ClusieL (HILARIOUS and Robert Earl is worth the price of admission), Chemistry Queen (so sweet! and smart!), Simone Anderson (NZ accent for the win!), and so many more

I am having a really difficult time finding anyone my age or post meno who has done this. I know those in their 20's and 30's are comfortable with sharing, you tube, selfies, etc. But I'm really not finding anyone other than 'Finding Elizabeth' who are more on my side of the age divide.

Anyone have any favorite You Tube folks who are maybe 40's and up who have had the sleeve or RNY?
