Age

I am 57, and I asked my surgeon the same question. As I recall, he told me that they don't start worrying about age until 70, and then they consider WLS on a case-by-case basis.

I had VSG this past Monday, and it went very smoothly. The nurses were impressed at how soon I was up and walking, and at my walking speed. From what I've read, there's no reason to believe your age will make your recovery more difficult. It has more to do with how anesthesia and the other drugs affect you.

I'll turn 58 later this month, so we are pretty close in age.

How are you doing? Have you had surgery? I also am 63 and waiting for my surgery date.

I should get my date next week and YES I AM EXCITED! LOL!

I'm happy you are a little better. Prayers for a quick recovery!

Hugs,

Susan
