I'm 56 just had my 1st appointment, so only just starting my journey! But I too have grandchildren and diabetes knee problems etc. But I want a thinner, healthier life so I can enjoy life to the full with family and friends. I too have four grown up children 2 boys 2 girls and a hubby who are all supporting me! So I am lucky, surgery cannot come fast enough for me! I have just one negative person who doesn't think I should do it, that's my youngest sister. She thinks all I need is a smaller plate,and I will never be able to go out for a meal or socialize again!!

Thank you for your support so far and good luck to everyone else on the journey too! : )xx

Hello Leda,
I am 56 and going for it, am waiting to hear if I have been referred to the surgeon, it seems to take so much time!

Hi Trish, and welcome to a great site! Good luck on your journey, it seems like 5 minutes since I wrote the first post on this discussion. It was a year ago and I have learned so much from people on here and now I find myself on the liver reducing diet and almost time for my bypass. I an really looking forward to a better and healthier life with my family. All the best, it seems a long wait but it comes around in no time! Xx

Never too old . I am 52 and am having the bypass on wed. I too have many illnesses, I have 5 children n 2 step sons an 5 grandchildren wth one more due in March. My eldest and only daughter who is 35 is flying over from Belfast on wed morn to be there for me when I wake up. Bless her. So if they are offering you are def not too old for surgery. Grasp it with all your might. Xxx
