44 and sleeved on 2/28/18. So far, I’ve lost 76lbs since surgery. Totally wish I would’ve done this year ago!

I’m 43, male, rny in Jan this year and I have lost 120 pounds so far, this has been the best thing I have ever done for myself, wish I did it sooner. I feel the same as thatgirl2121, I feel my youth was wasted and I can only imagine what my life would have been like if I did it sooner, many missed things Because of my weight. And the benefits of the surgery?! Let me tell you something men, if there is any reason to get it done it’s the improvements in men’s health!! Lol

I’m 46 and was sleeved 5/21. Have lost almost 60 pounds today. Definitely wish I had done it in my youth. I still have great years ahead, but sometimes feel like my youth was wasted. So many years of limiting myself due to my weight.

Was sleeved at 45. I’ve put some of the weight on. But I have been taking it off. It’s a struggle. I can’t tell you how hard it is to lose the weight. If you are doing the surgery now. Watch your wright. Don’t let it get out of hand and exercise daily. I lost the interest in exercising daily and did it once or twice a week. So I gained weight. Now I exercise daily every morning and watch what I eat. No carbs. Get my water and protein in daily. Good luck everyone.

I’m 42 was sleeved the end of May this year, so I’m right at 12 weeks out and down 60 pounds as of this morning. Parts have been difficult but no regrets. Think I did the surgery at the right time in order for me to be successful... If I would have done it sooner I’m not sure I would have been as committed

I'm 46 and sleeved almost 2 weeks ago. I've lost 9 lbs since surgery and 27.6 since my highest. I went through the process about 8 years ago but had some other health problems which prevented me from having the surgery. After taking care of those and then trying on my own to lose over the years, I decided to go forward again. Glad I did.

44 sleeved 1/8/18.

And in a week and a half, on September 5th, at 72, I will have a RnY bypass. You and I. are beacons to the brothers and sisters of our generation , it is NOT TOO LATE to MAKE steps toward better HEALTH. We Baby Boomers still rock and We Always Will!????

Hey, Great decision to get your sleeve. I’m not in my 40’s.. I’m in my 60’s! ..60 is the new 40 as far as I’m concerned ? your going to feel great! Had the band 9 years ago, didn’t work out long term, so I just converted to sleeve 30 days ago., Doing great.. back to work next week. Good not to wait.. congrats

Sleeved October 2017 and was on a waiting list since 2013 .., being 42 I do wish I would have been able to do it sooner ... I think if everything I missed out on .. but I can’t dwell on that now as the past is the past!! I am grateful that I got it now.
With 96 down and 80 to go I’m at a plateau and hope I can get back on track .. honeymoon is over and all is back to what it was !!! The carb cravings are back , I can eat more then I should, drinking with meal doesn’t hurt barely anymore... I’m panicked a bit as I fear to gain back what I worked so hard to loose. I’m back here for accountability and support .

My 45th Birthday is December 1st. I hope I get an approval and surgery date. That would be the best birthday gift ever.

Sleeved 7/12 turned 45 years young 7/21. Had the best birthday cake ever, it was a sip of a protein shake then I was to full for any more. I wish I did it when my back started hurting to the point it was affecting my work ethic. If so maybe I wouldn't be in as bad shape as I am now. The weight loss has reduced the amount pain in my lower back and allowed me to be more mobile but the pain still builds and before long I'm useless. I'm early on so the more I lose hopefully the better I get.

Was Sleeved back in March of this year, turned 40 a month later.
I looked into it about 5 years ago but decided to wait. Right after surgery I thought should have done it then, but now is a better time than any and feel my thinking has matured more. I am no longer Diabetic (type 2 since 2011) and everything else has been great health wise.
Just got into running, slow and and steady but building endurance, and planning on doing my first 5K this Thanksgiving. When I started walking back in September of 2017 at the beginning of my Sleeve journey I was walking at a 24 minute mile, currently right under 15 minutes a mile now.
So far this has been a great experience and an eye opener at my lifestyle. I weigh less now than when I got married 16 years ago and almost down to my high school weight. My motivation is flying high and am enjoying this part of my life.

Was sleeved in July, but just wanted to tell you all that you got this. It's going to be rough at first but when those times come just remember that the recovery process is only temporary and when you're back on your feet you will be so happy you did this.

Well, my surgery was cancelled, I am hoping just postponed... Ugh sometimes I hate life...

Yeah I saw off to the side there it said 12/18/17...Was just razzing ya a little! You look fantastic!

156 pounds lost! [emoji106]

I am 45.... divorced with 2 adult kids (college kids), had done in July and its been awesome. I had no hesitation having it done. Really only thought about doing it in March of this year and began the process in April. I truly didnt know it was an option with insurance until learning about it. Once that initial appt. I had all preop tests done within a month and surgery was 7/16. I am down 44 lbs since April, 27 since surgery day. I have so much more energy and I can breath without huffing and puffing!!!! I fit better in clothes and its amazing to see gradual transformation.

Biggest regreat was not getting it done sooner. I had my surgery last year.. I was 40.. no big deal.. I had no issues at all.. down from 405 to 205.. I havent lost weight for last 4 months.. but doing tons of crossfit.. so I guess not loosing but gaining muscle.. best of luck pal

Hi I’m not 40 but turned 60 this past June and had surgery August 22 and would have done it 15 years ago but had aging parents to take care off and put self on the back burner. Anyway i came through surgery pretty good. Recovery is going tough trying to get all the liquids down with no appetite. Still glade I did it.

I’m 46 and was sleeved on May 28. I have more energy with just 48 pounds lost so I can’t wait to see what I will feel like when I’m down more. I get frustrated sometimes that it isn’t faster weight loss. I wish I would have done it years ago.

I’m 45 and got sleeves on 8/2. I’m glad I did it now. My kids are grown and out of the house so I can plan meals for me without worrying about their nutrition needs. I also think I appreciate it more now as a lifestyle change.
