My aunt is 50 years old and considering surgery...

She is about 350 lbs., almost the same as I was when I first met my surgeon. She wants to have this surgery but isn't sure how her progress will differ from mine because she's 50 and I'm only 20. Although I've told her that people over her age have qualified for surgery, she's still not convinced that anyone really has. If there are any older people out there, could you tell me about your experiences with the RNY surgery? I plan on showing this to her and it would be of much assistance in making her decision. Thanks so much!
