A member asked:
I'm 67 years old. why would i want to have any kind of surgery at my age. i have already outlived everyone in my family. so i am on borrowed time.

That depends on what type of surgery you need to have and what other medical problems you currently have. 67 is not that old nowadays. Medicine is very advanced and we can treat a lot of conditions for patients even at an older age. If your current condition is not severe you may not need surgery. But if your physician is recommending surgery make sure to weigh all the risks and benefits before you make a decision good luc.
