 Hi, i guess I qualify for older. I'm 62 and had my surgery when i was 60. I lost the weight without any problems. It took me about 11 month to lose it all. 
I take all my vitamins, eat between 120-150 grams of protein every day and I'm enjoying every moment.
I'm not sure how a 62 year old should feel, but I feel younger then I have in years.

So, don't let age stop you.

Good Luck

WOW!  you are really rocking your ds! i only hope to do as well!  thanks for your reply!! 

I was 52 when I had my surgery. I had zero complications, went back to work full-time at a little over 3 weeks out.  I have felt great ever since, actually I feel like I am 25 these days!

GREAT! good to know! thanks.

I was 51 when I had my DS.  It was my very first surgery and very first anesthesia ever.  I do think my recovery was a bit harder than on some of the 20/30 year olds but now that I am 2 years out (and 53) I feel like I am 35.  I have more energy than almost anyone I know (of any age) and I am living a life that I NEVER EVER EVER DREAMED possible.

By the way I now wear a size 4 in women's and a size 3 or 5 in Juniors and I love to wear low rise jeans and cute tops and I think I look great.

My only regret is not having done this surgery decades ago, but better late than never.

becky< i am glad you came through it so well! and it looks like you are truly enjoying your new life! you are right, better late than never!! lol

I was just weeks away from my 6oth birthday and felt every minute of it. The process went just as smoothly as one could ask for. Now I feel much younger than my age and must look it too because I have had a few advances made to me by guys in their 40's! I am so out of practice with that kind of attention that I didn't recognize what was happening at first! LOL I have been overweight since childhood and it is so unbelievable to be "normal" weight and have the ability to move and fit like never before in my life. Don't miss this chance for a healthy new you!
