It took me 1 year. Be patient it's worth it!

Forgot to mention that I am 60yo. Are there any older gastric sleeve patients out there?

Hi everyone!

I am on my way to the hospital this morning February 2, 2023 to have a revision done. My doctor will remove my band and revise it to a sleeve.
I am really excited about this journey and cannot wait to move forward in my weight loss journey!

Good luck with your surgery. My date is February 16th. I'm having a sleeve gastrectomy

My hand’s up too. I was almost 54 when I had sleeve surgery. Almost 4 years out & been doing well. Pretty stable with my weight too.

I'm in my 60s and had my bypass at age 55. There are lots of us who've had surgery in our 50s and 60s (even a few in their 70s)

I will be 59 in April and I had my sleeve done March 2020. Just like some of the other replies I wish I would of done this sooner. Lost 120 pounds now I am moving forward to get plastic surgery going. Best of luck with your journey 💗

I was 68 when I had my sleeve. My BMI was not high enough to have insurance pay for it, so I self-paid at great expense! I only wish I had done it years earlier - I hadn’t realized it was an option!

I turned 50 in November and had gastric bypass surgery on December 28 ,2022. So far so good. I am looking forward to a new ME.

I want to have my surgery in February also but I have a couple more things to do. Hopefully soon though

Me too, I just turned 51 and am hopefully having surgery end of February.

Hello, I'm preparing for surgery and being over 50, I wish that I had started this journey sooner.

Hello, I'm 61 and had my sleeve surgery a little over a year ago. Everything went really well. I went home the next day. I was never in pain. I'm so happy I had the surgery. I've only lost 45 lbs., I'm not losing as fast as I want but I feel so much better and I'm happier. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Bypassed at 51. Wish I'd done it a decade ago!

Hi there! I'm 63 and had my RNY at age 61. I've lost @120 lbs and my only regret is that I didn't do it 5 years earlier! Even at my 'ripe old age', I'm having plastics next Wednesday!

Sleeved in my mid 50s, revised to RNY in my 60s.

Me too. Had to pay for myself and never had the money till I was 62. Wish I had the money sooner but I feel so healthy now, it hopefully has added years to my life

I had surgery at 58.
Looking of global demographic data, it would appear that the average age for weight loss surgery in most Western countries is between 45 and 50. Asian and Middle-eastern countries tend to have a younger demographic.

Over 50 too when I had my sleeve surgery 14 months ago. Also wish I'd done it years ago. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself EVER.

I'm a 52-year old RnY gastric bypass patient.
