So happy to have found my age group!
I am so happy to have found this age group forum! I kept reading the main forum and found many young people who have had the surgery but was sure they couldn't understand the unique difficulties of being over 50. I have completed all of the paperwork and am waiting on approval. All forms sent to insurance on June 25. I am excited about the possibility of getting my health improved. I have stage 3 kidney disease. Has anyone else had this condition pre-op?
Happy to find a forum like this one!

Welcome, Penny!
No, I don't know of anyone have stage 3 kidney disease, but someone may pop up.
This is a great group. Join in and ask questions if you have any. I think most people over 50 are more compliant than the younger set because we are a little more eager to get health issues settled. We've been through so many diets and know most don't work for us. So we want this last-ditch effort to work (or at least that was my experience).
I am five years out, have lost 180 pounds, kept most of it off (having a little weight gain lately, unexplained, mostly fluid retention in my legs due to knee surgery) and have resolved many problems, including gaining back 1 inch in height that was lost due to disc compression ... so I'm now 5-4 instead of 5-3.
Hope you get approved soon.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
