@houston13 ....happy to hear you took care of your body and are now in good shape post surgery. Good for you. Can i ask roughly how old you are?
As an older women I am wondering how much age impacts the surgery outcome. Or is a healthy weight, diet, lifestyle and well exercised body more likely to do well despite being retirement age? Hoping so 🙂

@llindsay251 I am 60 years old, age doesn’t matter as much as how healthy your body is, of course the body deteriorates as you age but the rate depends on how well you have been taken care of yourself, I have read folks in this forum in their 80s and having been cleared for surgery by their surgeons. My surgeon told me diabetes, pulmonary issues, cardiac issues, etc can affect the probability of a positive outcome and those can happen at 40.
Hope this helps!! Keep taking care of yourself!! And stay positive
All the best
