I was sleeve two months ago at 62. Best thing I ever did for myself. I think as we are older we understand more it's so important we had this opertunity for our new life.

I'm 56. Surgery 3 days ago. No problems. I'm in the sipping and walking phase. Still working on arranging the pills and getting the liquids in. I'm following the program and planning for success. Good luck!

Sounds like you are doing awesome, 23lbs!!!!

I went through a couple weeks feeling like I was hungry (I wasn't hungry, just had cravings) just stick to the Protein....even if you feel the need to snack.

Don't stress if getting pills down doesn't work out as well as you planned....give it time. Also, Water consumption....that's tough at first, be patient and you eventually get in more and more.

I'm 57 and has the sleeve on 9/13. The first day was hard from the gas but walk, walk, walk. I was in the hospital overnight. By day 3 I was off pain meds. Its important to balance moving with resting, when you get home. Prepare by getting some protein shakes in the house, I got a Brita water filter and sugar Free ice pops. I use vitamin patches instead of pillows. A heating pad on my stomach helped if you have one and a pillow for the car. Be well.

59. Being sleeved in April 2017.

Got my sleeve 3.5 mths ago just before turning 59. I had a great recovery with minimal pain and no nausea. I was a stickler for following doctors plan so as to not risk any complications. I have lost 53 lbs, feel great and focusing on goals. We can be successful at any age!

I was 60 when I had my sleeve done last February. 61 now, 58 pounds down, normal bp with no meds. Wish I had done this @50!
