  • I'm 46 and got it done in September -- wish I had done it 15 years ago

  • 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 befor

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 22 years old... & so excited for this second chance! :)

I am 30 got sleeve in Nov and pretty soon I will be 31 :angry:

I will be 63 next week; will be sleeved this Friday, March 23rd.

I will be 62 in June and had my surgery last December.

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'm almost 50 and had the VSG a year ago.

U look beautiful! I'm 51 and had Lapband almost 3 yr. didn't work for me. Now, well see if the gastic sleeve is right for me.

I have to get my health back on track. I want to be around for a while
