I always wanted to have that surgery but just never did. Is there like an age limit or anything like that ?

Glad it worked for you !!!!!! Now you can go crazy for a few weeks cos ya can't wo!!!!

Rocco32 · 05-31-2004, 06:29 PM

I don't think there is an age limit. My Dad had it done when he was 45, that was about 8 years ago when it first came out.

Haha, I'll be in the gym this Wed. I'll only be lifting light, but I'll be lifting!
