43 and sleeved May 7. Down 117 lbs from my high point in January and about 80 lbs since surgery. Only regret is not considering this as an option sooner. Still a little more to my goal, but the journey has been well worth it.

I'm 41 and hopefully getting sleeved in December. After having such a bad experience with the lap band I was scared to even consider another WL procedure. I feel like its now or never but, I do wish I had done it years ago.

Well, my surgery was cancelled, I am hoping just postponed... Ugh sometimes I hate life...


Mine was just pulled too thanks to a bureaucratic stuff up. Was to have been in October but because some clerk didn’t get me in to see the head I am now likely to have to wait another 4-5 months. So annoyed right now.

Mine was temporarily canceled due to the fact that the size of the hernia that is making it a to high of risk that they wont be able to get the rest of my organs inside my abdominal muscle. I have to lose 40 more on top of the 26 I have lost, then be put on a month long clear liquid before I can have the surgery. By then I will be down 70 pounds and really won't have too much more to lose.. ugh so it's looking like next year sometime for me...sigh...

That's gotta be frustrating. Better to be as healthy as possible prior to going under the knife though. Best to you, and hopefully the time goes by quickly for you.

I was sleeved on 8/30 & also wishing it was faster. I am only down 14 lbs since surgery & 27 since starting the process. This past week the scale hasn’t moved. It’s a marathon so I am in for the long stretch & determined to get over this hump

I'm 45, 44 at surgery. I had my surgery a year ago tomorrow and yes wish I had done it 10 years ago. The change in my life is just simple amazing. I met my Dr's goal weight at the beginning of June (150lbs). I will admit I've done zero with following anything other than maintaining that goal for 3.5 months. Now I'm back at it because I've adjusted my own goal by 5 lbs. I'm applying all the things I've learned and the weight is falling off again. I have no doubt I'll meet my new goal. But health wise, I feel amazing, I feel 10 years younger. I love how I can buy cute cute clothes now and they fit like a dream. I have energy. Other than occasional heartburn, I have zero issues.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
