Starting out at age 45? How common?



Recommended Posts

I was 60 when I had my surgery. There are a lot of people on this board who are over 45. I think we're actually in the majority. You're in good company.

I started the process at 45, turned 46 in May, had my surgery Ocotober 27th 2014, and will be 6 months out by my 47th birthday on May 5th.

I originally went to a seminar about 5 years ago, REALLY REALLY wish I had followed thru back then. But better later than never!!

Good Luck on your journey!!

I'll be 47 next month and my surgery is in June. Wish I had done it earlier, but so happy to be doing it now!

Was banded 3 days before my 53rd birthday. I wish WLS had been this perfected when I was younger; I'd have done this in my 20s and my entire life would have been different (I imagine).

Yep. There are a lot of us. Ahem.. Mature people on this site.

Surely I would have done this in my 30's if it was available

But 51 worked for my life... Now 60 and happy and healthy

Good luck no matter what decade you start at !????

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
