I'm 40 and was sleeved October 25, 2010. Life most everyone else I wish I could have done it sooner but I'm planning on enjoying my 40's to make up for it. :D

I'm 46 and am delighted to have had my sleeve done on January 18, 2010. I believe it will be a wonderful tool to help me lose weight and a huge change in my life.

I'm 36 years old, and was sleeved in November. Wishing that my dad (who is 62) would do it, but he's got a different excuse every day.

I'm 38. (I will be 39 on Feb.6, so yep, I too am still claiming to be 38). I was sleeved just 5 days ago.

I was sleeved a month after my 28th b-day! Loving it, and the thought of being healthy for the rest of my life! People would make comments before, like "Your young, you don't need surgery....You can do it on your own"! But by then I had already been battling my weight for about 14yrs. They actually made me stop & question myself. So glad I didn't listen to those people!

I'm 42, sleeve date 24 Feb. I'm not too bothered about having waited to do this, life has its rhythms. I wasn't willing to do a DS (ever, as 41 was my highest BMI -- though my surgeon referred to it as the BMW of surgeries lol) or RnY (again, not keen on anything touching the intestines), though I've looked at them several years ago as possibilities. The sleeve was the first thing that said YES to me. (And I didn't even know about the band until it was already not done anymore in this country due to too many complications.)

I'm 58 and had my sleeve on 01/03/2011. Like all of the other "seasoned" individuals here B) , I wish it had been around 30 years ago.

Surgery weight 361

Today's weight - 338

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
