I am 34 now and getting sleeved 4/13. I wish I could have had this done at 21 :)

I'm 36 & just got sleeved 7.5 weeks ago. It would have been nice to do it sooner, but that may have changed the course of my life & I might have missed the happiness I found through the path I took. Plus I've had 4 kids & they might have ruined a perfect body. They're like that....suck the pretty right out of you....haha!!

I just turned 32, and had my sleeve at 30 and 3/4, Turning 30 was a big awakening for me, it marked a point in time where over 50% of my life had been consumed by failed diets, and enough was enough! I like to think I'm improving with age! ;)

I'm so weird but this thread is so moving to me! To read all the comments and see what point everyone is/was when this life changing tool helped them. Somehow this is uplifting to me. Anyhoo! I'm 29 and will be 30 in December. I was sleeved 8 days ago and hope to make 30 looking and feeling like the best birthday I ever had!! I think this was the best age for me to have this done.

I'm 51, better late than never. But RNY never seemed right for me, and just recently found out about the sleeve. Last year, I lost 200 lbs of ugly fat through a divorce. So I figured it was time to get rid of that last 100 lbs, so I could feel good and be healthier while starting the next chapter of my life.

Guess I'm the oldest here... 63 when I was sleeved on October 14, 2012. Only regret is not having done it sooner.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
