I am 56 and going to my first seminar on gastric surgery this weekend.  And particular questions I should be asking? My husband and I are both considering the surgery, maybe rny at this point.  We have been doing a LOT of reading and talking to people who have had it done.  We are both diabetic (Type 2) and are about 140-150 pounds overweight.  Any info and support appreciated!  Thanks!

Welcome to OFF (Over Fifties Forum) !!!

I am so excited for you and your hubby!! I had Lap RNY about 5.5 years ago. I had high blood pressure and was diabetic. After the surgery I have neither one. I only regret that I didn't have the surgery sooner.

I hope you stay and join in on our daily thread!! We love to have new members. We will try to help you and answer any questions you might have.

We are very friendly and caring. We help each other through so many issues in life especially weight loss and the ups and downs.

HUGS....connie d
