I am going to be 56 when I have my sleeve. Has anyone out there been around my age? How did you do. do you think it was harder because you were a little older. I am so nervous yet so excited at the same time.

I'm 54, I will be 55 in August. I don't think I've had any harder time due to my advanced age. I've had zero complications. My weightloss has been slower than some, but I really don't have a lot of problems with that. My goal was to get off all the drugs I was taking, and I am almost there. Good luck, with your surgery. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, I had the same question,. Thank you for posting. I wish you the best!

56 when I have my sleeve.

finleyd

i turned 58 one month after surgery (don't tell anyone )

not knowing/experiencing what "younguns" went through losing their weight - i can't compare situations...(young & older)....

but i can say i had a great surgery, recovery and continue to be successful

age "might" be a factor in the equation................knee, orthopedic problems

but someone who is 23 can and does have similar problems

i think i have turned into a spring chicken and am now 59 years YOUNG

neither age or "size" matters

good luck
