I’m 42. I was 41 when I had my VGS. I’m feeling great & 100 pounds lighter with less than 10 pounds left to lose.
I have no regrets & am glad I did it when I did. I’ve no desire to have done it sooner. I believe it was done in God’s perfect timing when my mindset was ready to embark on this journey & maintain the weight loss.

My Goal: 165-173
Just as when I was heavier, people think I weigh a lot less than I actually do. They also assume my clothing size is in single digits, but I actually wear a size 12.
I’d like to lose a little more weight (8-10 pounds) and then start doing resistance training to gain that amount back in lean muscle.
