I know several people who had surgery at 65+. I would say that this is

incorrect, though of course medical people should evaluate him (NOT the

insurance company!)

Any " old " graduates: Please read the message below and tell me if this

is consistent with your understanding. Has anyone on this list been this

age or older at the time of surgery?

Thanks,

Depends on the actual docs involved. I know several people in their mid-to

late 60's who have had the surgery successfully in this area.

I am 61 and know many over 60 post ops. It depends on the surgeon. Some do

some don't.

,

The bariatric guru's have suggested that it is best to have the

surgery before aged 50 and not past age 60. Once you hit this age group

there are more things to consider then just the weight and comorbidities.

Don't remember the details but it seemed like there was a valid

explaination.
