Does someone know what age limit there is for WLS?

I don't really know, Janie.  I'm 58 and will have mine 2/23.  I know there are some on here that had theirs over 60. 

I would suggest to call your closest bariatric center and ask them.  I'm sure all of them vary on age limits. 

Good luck in your decision!

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

It depends on the surgeon... mine said 60 but others go higher.

Janie....I had my lap RNY in 2008 at the age of 66.  It is up to your bariatric surgeon whether you are a candidate or not.  Best darn thing I ever did for myself and I've lost 120 pounds and 10 pounds UNDER goal.

Plenty of people in their 60s have had the surgery, so it's a matter of what your surgeon will allow.

Hi! I am 64 and just had my surgery on Feb 1st. There was never a question about my age. If there was it wasn't brought to my attention.
  

I am so thankful for all I have today. Be happy, Laugh often, Love Lots.
