Currently 61 y/o....surgery three years ago. Absolutely no regrets. Wish I had it sooner.

[Queen of Crop 1,103]

Four years ago today I had no idea how my life was about to change. On October 28, 2011, at age 58, I was wheeled into an operating room in Frankfurt, Germany, and like many of the readers here, a big part of my stomach was removed and a huge hope for the future replaced it.

My hope for a healthier life — where I looked and felt better, had more energy, and could move easily — not only came true but far exceeded even my wildest dreams.

It seems only appropriate on this anniversary date that I look back on these last four years and tell others how grateful I am to have had this shot at such a magical life. I know there are still many people who read my blog who have not yet had the surgery, and it’s important to me that this might be the push they need. That this is not just another diet that will last a few months. I’m living proof that you can have this surgery and four years later live life as a normal-weight person without dieting. I am now 62 and living a dream life....if you are interested in reading more, go to my blog www.queenofcrop.com Life can be great when you are in your 60's!

I had my sleeve 3 years ago today...at the grand age of 58 y/o. I think I am more in tune with my body than when I was young. Haven't had a weight problem until my hysterectomy at 41. We each have very personal reasons for this surgery. I feel your surgeon is doing a disservice adding age factors.
