Sounds like your life is going to change in many ways. This forum will be a great support for you in the meantime :-)

Best of luck to you! it's a life changer for sure! You won't regret it but, do your research and read everything you can about this surgery and after effects. I am new to this and I learn something daily. There are so many knowledgeable people on this board. Reach out often as you go along and if it's something you can commit to, go for it!!!

This will be the best decision you've made. I was 65 when I had mine 10/2017. Off meds (17 to 4), all blood & mineral things normal and down 67 lbs. And lots of energy!

You'll find the best support ever here!

I was sleeved at 68. To read about my first three years post-surgery (spoiler -- they've all been good) click on the links to those threads at the bottom of my signature block below.

And welcome.
