I guess I'll be the first, I'm 42:thumbup: whoo hoo! And I can't wait for the day I FINALLY have a "Normal" BMI and finish my 40's better than ever:001_smile:

How are you feeling? Hope that your recovery goes smoothly!

I'm 46 and I can't wait for my BMI to be less than my age. I agree about the 40s being great--I'm divorced, no kids, employed, and the happiest I've ever been. I wish my 40s could last longer.

I'm 46 and have a terrific hubby of 23 years. 6 kids, ages from 8 - 22 years. I finally had to do something about my fatness and inability to do things with my family. 29 lbs down so far. I have 54 to go. Went from 22 to 18. I'm starting to get compliments now. It's nice!!

44 here and just started the journey. 5 days out from surgery and struggling but I know by my 45th B-Day I will be much happier!!

I'm 47 and married to the greatest guy. We have three kids: 24yr old son, stationed in Germany, Army Strong!!!; 19yr old son, majoring in culinary; and a 18yr old daughter majoring in music. God has blessed me beyond words. Looking forward to getting sleeved 1 Oct. (Tijuana).

ok my turn, I'm 43~living & loving life more each day!

I'm 42 and don't feel it at all..... quite scary really as it makes you rethink about parents etc when you were young and how you thought of them.

Loving my sleeve, wish I had done it years ago and saved myself lots of hassle and heart ache.... but can't change the past so looking forward to a slim and sexy future!

Ok I know this forum is older but I will put my two cents in! LOL I'm 46 and have been married 28 years. I have two girls 22 and 25. I'm not sleeved yet but HOPEFULLY sometime in the last two weeks of this MONTH!! No matter where you live USA or over seas..... TRUST me when I FINALLY get my surgery date you will hear me CELEBRATING!!! LOL

Yayyyyyyyy

Hi all! I'm 46 (soon to be 47 in 3 months) -- have been married 23 years, have 3 kids (18, 14, 12) and am really thrilled that I had the surgery -- I'm down (as of today) 67 pounds (almost 3 months out) -- currently living in Paraguay as my hubby works for the US Embassy

PS -- Julie, I'm Julie too! and I'm 46

May I join in? I turned 48 in Nov and am hoping that this will be an excellent year! I am married to the love of my life. He has sure honored the "thick" part of our wedding vows! We have 5 adult children 3 boys and 2 girls, ages 24-19. 3 still in college and 1 in medical school. I am truely blessed with a job I usually love, a family I always love and lots of supportive friends.

I have surgery on Jan 6th and will begin my journey to "thin" at that time. I have faith that the good Lord will be with me on every step of my journey and with my faith and family I can achieve my goals. Thanks to everyone on this board for your support, advise and prayers

Welcome girlie yayyyy!

I will be 49 on Thursday, at least I won't be fat and 50 next year.

I'm 43 years old, divorced forever, and have a brilliant 15 year old son. My sleeve is scheduled for 12/28 and cannot wait! Hoping to have a much healthier lifestyle by my birthday in July.
