32. I thought about it a few years ago but I wasn't mentally prepared for the challenge of such a huge life change until the past few months.

I'm there with u. I looked into it for many years. I was never mentally ready untill now.

I'm 22 , would you have done it my age?

Personally no bc I wasn't mentally prepared for all of the changes. I think many people have it at your age and are very successful.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I am 39. I wish I had done it years ago.

I was 61 on the day of surgery. Like most above, I wish I had not waited so long. By the time I decided to get serious about my weight, I couldn't walk a block, I was in pain all the time, my diabetes was getting worse, etc, etc. I'm a new, younger woman now.

Just turned 47.
