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?

I am 45 and getting sleeved in 2 weeks!

Congrats!

Hi, 47 here sleeved 8/6. I'm happy with my decision, But yes I wish I had done it earlier. It has been 2weeks with 20lbs gone. 1 week to go in liquid phase little nausea but otherwise can't complain.

Hi there. Congrats on your surgery and being 20 pounds down. Welcome.

I'm 41, sleeved on my 41st birthday. I do wish I had done this sooner -- maybe before I had children, as recovery with two under 6 at home is hard. I'm still in a lot of pain. But, after I had my second child (and right around my 40th birthday), I could not lose any weight on my own. I did some pretty intense exercise and nutrition programs for new moms and I'm certain it was good for me, but only lost a few pounds (and it nearly killed me, in my sleep deprived, newborn mom state). That's when I decided to investigate the surgery, and I'm glad I did. I just wish my recovery were going a little faster.

Going on 45 here. In my 6 month process, hoping to have ax scheduled for November. Need all the help I can get. ?

PRAISE THE LORD I'm 47 got sleeved on 1/19/18. I was 244 now I'm at 172 and counting down...goal weight 165....No regrets except for the major hair loss. Doing great, had a few stalls and I miss eating certain bad foods. Sometimes I cheat but I stick to under 1000 calories total food intake daily. Trying to get the protein and water in...still a challenge but otherwise....all glory to God I'm coming along

I’m 48. I got sleeved a week and a half ago on 8/13. I have lost 14 lbs. so far so good.

I’m 45 and got sleeves on 8/2. I’m glad I did it now. My kids are grown and out of the house so I can plan meals for me without worrying about their nutrition needs. I also think I appreciate it more now as a lifestyle change.

I’m 42 and getting sleeved in one month. I’m so incredibly nervous

I’m 46 and was sleeved on May 28. I have more energy with just 48 pounds lost so I can’t wait to see what I will feel like when I’m down more. I get frustrated sometimes that it isn’t faster weight loss. I wish I would have done it years ago.

43 will be sleeved sept 26th!

I'm 42 and I was sleeved 3 weeks ago. I don't think I could have afforded the surgery in my 30s and I don't think I was mature enough to handle all the lifestyle changes that come with the surgery. I do wish I had it done 2 years ago when I started having PCOS issues. I wasted a lot of time trying to fix a problem that the surgery has improved already.

46 and sleeving on 9/13.. been thinking about it for years and finally taking the leap!

Same age bracket. It has been nothing but positive change in my life. I can't go back in time. I keep looking forward.
