How old are/were you the day of surgery?

I was 70 yrs & 5 mos. Glad I had this surgery. My skin sags but I can breathe better & my knees don't hurt. LOL. I wish I had done this a long time ago but this current type of Sleeve surgery wasn't around a long time ago. You really have to be to a point where food is no longer a big concern to you. I woke up one morning & realized I could care less about foods like pizza, ice cream, muffins, etc & that surgery was more important. I was going to have a lapband because I didn't know about the Sleeve. I called my cousin about the lapband (she has one) & she told me about the Sleeve. So glad she did.

I am 62, just had surgery 2/3. I had thought about it about 10 years ago but the sleeve wasn't as available then. I really didn't like the other WLS options. I have no comorbidities- just 100 lbs to lose!

I didn't need it at 22 so I don't know how I would have felt about major surgery at that age. If you feel ready to undertake this after careful consideration, then you should.

I'm 2 weeks out and I'll be 59 next week...

I was going to say the same thing in my reply... I felt many years past my 36 and now I'm slowly feeling like my mid-20s again.

I was 27 ( I had surgery about 3 weeks ago)

I was 24 at the time of my procedure. I'm 37 today. Time flies when you're having fun!!
