Hi Everyone!  I'm 62 years old, BMI of 40, with some of the typical maladies (hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea).  I'm going through the approval process, and when completed will have gastric bypass (RNY) with Dr. Matthew Fitzer of Virginia Bariatric Surgery.  

Target surgery date is early to mid-March 2020. UPDATE! Surgery scheduled: March 24th!

My wife had the identical surgery (with a different surgeon) 15 years ago, and has been able to stay @100 lbs under her maximum weight in 2004, so she is proof that the process is effective.

I believe my biggest challenge pot-op will be to maintain a consistent meal schedule.  But I am SO looking forward to this!
