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?

Thank you

I’m forty something as well :)

I was 48, best thing I could have done for myself! Over 1 year out now, struggling with motivation, gained a little, I have decided to speak with a counselor before it gets too out of control. I know what to do, but sabatoging myself.

Oh congrats. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Good for you down 28lbs!

But on a positive note My starting weight was 225 I now weigh 140 no problems. No more blood pressure or cholesterol meds

That’s fantastic!

@rochelle 38 why do you feel alone?

Because I had to leave everyone negative out of my life and I have no friends left
