I am sorry that no one has answered yoiur question . I have not had my surgery yet, but I am age 61 and plan to have an open RNY. I know a lady in Wayland Michigan who is 64. She does not have a computer so you would have to call her. I could send you her name and telephone number if you would care to e-mail me back.
