Glad to hear you are doing well! I am also 58 and had my sleeve 2 weeks ago. At the beginning I wondered what a woman MY age was doing here. Your post gave me inspiration. I guess it is NOT when you sleeve, but that you DO sleeve!

YOU ROCK!!!!!

Hi Ladies. It is nice to see some posters over 50 (age not BMI). I am not sleeved yet but my op is booked for 3 April. I won't use numbers for the date because as you can see from my username I am in the UK and we write our dates the other way round so 3 april is 3/4/12 which I believe for you reads 4 March 12. It causes me great confusion when I am reading posts. Anyway I will be 53 when I have my op. I am very calm about it all at the moment but no doubt the nerves will kick in closer to the time. Sleeves and wraps are not so common here in the UK yet though the sleeve market is growing. That is why I follow a US forum as there are more people giving feedback. I am a self funder as bariatric surgery is very limited (on the nhs) in the UK and usually you need a BMI of 50 to be considered or have health issues. My BMI is 43 and I did not want to put more weight on just to get in the maybe line. This is my first post but I have been looking for a month or so. Cathy
