Welcome, Gina. My name is Roseanne and I am the "old lady" of the group!! I am 70 years old and am scheduled for sleeve surgery two weeks from today, August 17. In fact, I can't believe that I'll be on the other side of the mountain in two weeks. I was originally scheduled for March 18 and was cancelled due to the pandemic. I am in NJ, which was hit very heavy. The people on this board are very open about their experiences and share them with us. I'm sure that you'll find a ton of information while reading different posts. Good luck with your journey.
