Hi all. I am in my forties. Wondering who else is on the boards in the same age bracket. Wondering how being sleeved has affected your life at this age. Do you wish you were sleeved sooner?

Am 46. Sleeved almost one year ago. Feel amazing:)

I’m new to this forum, but had surgery on September 26, 2018. I’m 40.

Welcome! Hope you’re doing well!

I’m 42. I was 41 when I had my VGS. I’m feeling great & 100 pounds lighter with less than 10 pounds left to lose.

I have no regrets & am glad I did it when I did. I’ve no desire to have done it sooner. I believe it was done in God’s perfect timing when my mindset was ready to embark on this journey & maintain the weight loss.

Now that I am officially post surgery, I'm thinking I should have maybe done this earlier. My pain tolerance isn't what it used to be. ?

I’m so glad you shared this. I’m working to get to this point. I’m six weeks post-op now, and I’m a slow healer (always been this way) but looking forward to a year from now and encouraging others.

Congratulations to you and BEST wishes on continued and lifelong success.

I’m with you! I’m 44 and at first I thought, “man, I wish I’d done it sooner when i was younger, single, had hair ?, etc.” but honestly, I don’t think it was God’s will for me then. He kept me healthy in spite of my excessive weight and up until last year, I had no intentions of having the surgery. And now, my mindset is clearly changed for the better. I’m eating way healthier, working out regularly and I’m just 10lbs away from meeting my goal. For me, God’s timing was the best timing!
