Anyone else out there just getting started in their mid 40s? I keep reading most people doing this are younger.

I was 47. All I know is 48 looks and feels WAAAAAYYYYY better than 47 did!

Decided it was time at 44 (wish I had done it many years ago but mentally I wasn't ready. Surgery was scheduled for May 28 and by then I was 45. I will be 46 on May 5 and I don't regret having surgery at this age. CheleLynn45 we share the same birthday

42 on July 14, '15 when I got sleeved & turned 43 exactly one month later.

I turned 62 in January and had my surgery in Nov. 2014. I'm about 3 1/2 months out and haven't felt this good in over 20 years. I wish I had found the courage to do this years ago.

My only worry now is whether or not my husband will be able to keep up with me once I reach my goal. He'll be 70 this year.

19! Sorry no help! Lol

I'm 53 and waiting for my surgery date. Wish I'd done it when I was younger, but it is what it is! I'm healthy but on the brink of problems unless I make a change, so bring it on!

I was 44 when i had my sleeve done in Oct 2014, i'm now a lil over 100lbs lighter and turning 45 at the end of the month .. Life is good!

53 when I was sleeved last June.

Go for it.

I plan on it ????????????????

I was banded at 43 and sleeved at 50. For me the band wasn't a good tool but also being older and wiser and so much less inclined to game it, I was more ready this time. I keep thinking of Bull Durham when Kevin Costner taught Tim Robbins " the rules ". I feel like I'm on the mound nodding my head that I understand.

@@KS123 - I was 46 when I got my lap-band and 58 when I revised to the sleeve. You are, definitely, not alone. In fact, you're practically a youngster! I'm now 59!

I am 45! Tired of fighting it! )

I'm 60 ,I wish I could've done this at your age.I will be sleeved on April 20th . You can do this. I know I can hardly wait to feel better.Good luck

Is there really a "right " age to get healthy?! Of course not...go for it

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
