I am 57 and had my sleeve on September 27th of 2010. Would have LOVED it this had been available when I was 20 years younger :-) My life would have been way different! I love that so many of you young people are taking hold of your health NOW!

I was 31 when I had the lapband and just had the sleeve Dec. 30th at age 33, will be 34 in a few days. I'm glad I've gotten it now, but do wish I wouldn't have wasted any years feeling miserable, and failing at diet after diet. So ready to start my new life :)

I had this procedure done a week ago and I'm 24. I'm grateful I was able to have this operation available to me at such a young age. Saying that, I had a lot of psychological support and therapy before the op and am continuing to see an eating disorder specialist now. This is a great tool; all we have to make sure is that we are mentally recovering now as well.

I've known for a long time my bout of depression and bullying at school triggered comfort eating for me and I know have to change the way I view food. It's not supposed to be there to comfort me or reward me when something even goes right, it's there for me to survive each day. Good luck on your journey and I hope everything goes very well for you :D

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
