Hi @@skinnyrita My sister is around your age and looking into the VSG too. I think she's a little concerned about her age, but more concerned about high blood pressure as well as hip and knee pain. I'll tell her about your success.

Really looking forward to my 48th birthday as well as my 98th now.

55 and just sleeved on September 22nd. My age was a concern to me, but the surgeon had no problem with my age. It's a non issue.

Hi Madmax68,

I'm so excited for your sister. Yes it's a little pain up front and lots of adjustment to the sleeve, but I wouldn't go back to my old weight for anything. Joint pain is a thing of the past. Wishing her and you the best????Let us hear from you both!

I'm 44 and just had VSG in June. My BMI in my early 40s was around 38, so I didn't qualify. Wish I had! Still, it's a great feeling to actually be getting BETTER WITH AGE. Woot!
