Hi, I'm Carol. Have been looking  for sometime for a board, that is near my age,
I had answered  one forum about people over 60 having surgery.Thats me.
Isn't it good that at any age we can improve are health, with this surgery. I'm pre-op. going for a stress test on Tues. for clearance for rny. Hoping everything will be alright. but believe it will.
Looking forward to chatting and giving encouragement to all that need it. My friend and I have always said that a stranger is just  a new friend. Hope everyone is have a peaceful day.

Hi Carol, Welcome to the over fifty forum. I'm so far "over" I'm 60! But. . . . I feel much younger than I did 5 years ago before my RNY. Best wishes to you. This is a great community.

Welcome, Carol
I had VSG almost 3 months ago, and am really beginning to enjoy the benefits of WLS. I've got a long way to go yet, but the folks here on OFF are tremendously supportive. I visit other forums, too, but enjoy the more sensible perspective I find here.
Good lluck with your tests; hope you are soon cleared for your surgery.

Hey there and welcome!  My RNY is Wednesday, August 19th, and I'm 57.  I had a stress test too for risk assessment, everything went fine.  Good luck with yours!
