I would say it depends more on your general health status than your age - some 69 year olds are more healthy than people half their age however you do say that you have high blood pressure so the question is would this normally prevent you from having a general anaesthetic for the surgery or would it be dangerous? I am not a medical person so i do not know the answer to this question - often if you can lower your wgt then it can bring your BP down but i suppose the medical expert would need to weigh up the pros and cons of your particular case - I dont know whether there is a standard answer to this question cos i believe everyone is individual and everybody's criteria would be studied specifically - good luck

Hello Bandid, just reading your comments from 8 months ago. Can I ask I for you went ahead with your vertical sleeve op ? I am 69 and considering the same surgery myself. I am very nervous about going ahead because of my age, so hope you don't mind me asking? Thanks

I am 63 had biliary pancreatic diversion. I got rid of my type 2 diabetes which is great but the other side effects aren't. I don't think I would suggest this surgery to anyone but haven't met anyone with the sleeve. Only wish you the best cause my weight is still a huge issue! I think the only solution is constant. Dieting!!! Sorry to be a Debbi downer but that's been my experienxe
