Hello--
I'm so new I don't even have a surgery date yet, but I have started the process. I'm excited but not terribly nervous--that's a good thing right? I tried searching for people who had surgery in their 50s but was coming up with no results. I'm curious if there are extra concerns for someone who is, say, 55? I'm fairly healthy (insulin resistant, depression, bad knee) and am a bit worried about recovery and changing habits. I know my knee will be happy, even if I look like my skin has melted. (Excess skin, hair loss are also big worries since I'm in my 50s) TIA for sharing your experience.
