Well I guess I am an oldie at 54 :cry::cry: but still glad that I had it at all. I could not have had it any sooner as I wasn't even aware of the surgery until a few years ago & at the time had a non compliant doctor 
so I had it as soon as I could & am VERY grateful. I would advise anyone, irrespective of age to go grab the life you want xxx
so I had it as soon as I could & am VERY grateful. I would advise anyone, irrespective of age to go grab the life you want xxx I must be the oldest one on here at 67 and the only problem is whether or not I am fit enough for the operation. Please do not spend all your life fat justr go for it when you are young and fitter than me. I have had my final itinery from Prague ready for my op on 13th Feb. Nearly had a change of heart at the last minute but away to go:flirt2:

I am one of the fortunate ones & have had no problems eating at all.
I don't dump or at least have not up to now & eat everything my family does, just much smaller portions. I have also eaten out on lots of occasions with no ill effects. I do watch what I eat & I never go over 1000cals, but this is more than enough for a tiny tum xxx Similar threads
