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

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
