I would love to hear from people over 50 that have had the sleeve? How was the recovery? Any complications? Im 57 and wondering if im too old.

There's a forum for 50's folks - but it's not that active. You may be able to find some answers to your questions BUT - you are NOT too old!!!

I am 74 and am 6 weeks post-op with absolutely NO PROBLEMS or complaints. Unlike many others I have had NO pain or swallowing issues and continue with 70+ Proteins and gallons of Water. I'm trying to be creative with foods & menus now which is challenging. All will be worth it in the end . Good luck.....age is only a number !!!!

I am 54 and I am 31/2 weeks PO

Thank God I had no complications and my recovery is nice and smooth but I still can't get all my protein and water in cuz I got too full from few sips of water and protein shake so it takes my all day to finish half of what I supposed to have????
