Starting out at age 45? How common?



Recommended Posts

Had the sleeve at 51 ( mentally not that old, but was physically getting older quicker), turned 52, 2 months later & moving so much easier, feeling younger???? if you are ready to commit to the changes, then it's the right time, JUST DO IT! There's actually a thread on here that you are too young for!! http://track.bariatricpal.com/track/click/14368495/www.bariatricpal.com?p=eyJzIjoiME95a1FjLW1wQ0RmUWV4UUJTS2xUeG9IendJIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjoxNDM2ODQ5NSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvd3d3LmJhcmlhdHJpY3BhbC5jb21cXFwvdG9waWNcXFwvMzE4MjYwLW5ldy10by1maWZ0aWVzLWdyb3VwXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjQ2MWFmYzg0OWE1MDRmYWZhNDczNWUyZDAyZDU5N2IzXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiYWIzOTVhZDI2N2FlNTViN2ExOTEzMTNiZjY2ZWQ1ODBlOGU3YWFhMlwiXX0ifQ

Yesterday I took my daughter and her friend ( both 21 ) out to the nail salon so we could all get pedicure s. My daughter whispers " Mom, thats going to be you when you're older !! She dresses like you ! " The lady in question walking by us was a slim, well dressed, VERY stylish, and yes mid 70 's or older !!! No old lady clothes for her ! No "I give up because Im older !" No masculine haircut and sloppy polyester outfits for her, She was rockin' it in a very appropriate way. I can only HOPE I can look as good as she dies when Im her age ! So dont let YOUR age hold you back from being FABULOUS !!!! That .is. all. Good luck !!!

I'm 67 and just getting starting in this process! I'm sure I will look older and wrinkly but I'll feel better! And I have every intention of being the hottest wrinkled old lady out there!

You and me both. I had RNY in Nov. 2014 and I'm 62. I'm down 75 pounds and feel better than I have in almost 20 years. I plan to rock all the fantastic clothes that I've been deprived of wearing for way too many years. Chico's here I come!!!

I'd just turned 47 when I had mine done. May my 50's be healthier and sexier than my 40's!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
