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?

Sleeved a few weeks after my 40th birthday. Only regret is not doing it sooner.

I am 45.... divorced with 2 adult kids (college kids), had done in July and its been awesome. I had no hesitation having it done. Really only thought about doing it in March of this year and began the process in April. I truly didnt know it was an option with insurance until learning about it. Once that initial appt. I had all preop tests done within a month and surgery was 7/16. I am down 44 lbs since April, 27 since surgery day. I have so much more energy and I can breath without huffing and puffing!!!! I fit better in clothes and its amazing to see gradual transformation.

I'm 46 but do not tell my grand babies they all think I'm 29 yes every year. My surgery date is dec 12th my boyfriend and I are doing a "couples" Sleeve surgery on the same day. I enjoy reading everyones stories, advice and support and I hope to do the same for someone else when it's my turn to tell it.

46 years and not much scares me but with 4 months til Surgery day I have very high anxiety. I'm a care giver and I wonder will I try to care more for him than I do myself? There has to be a time when we put ourselves first. Deep breath....I got this. To Heathier lifestyles.

42 when I had surgery - only regret is not doing it sooner! My life has changed so much for the better. I'm healthy, more active, off medications, etc.

I am 44 and was sleeved in December of 2018. My Life has changed for the better in countless ways. I am healthier and hopefully a better Husband, Father and more productive member of Society. Should have done it 10 years ago

Hi I am a 58 year old male just had the sleeve on 8 21 18 Feeling pretty good down 25 poundsTrying to get used to eating slowly drinking separatelyBut looking forward to a healthier Me !

48 and sleeved on June 1st. Weight is slow to come off but I’ll take the 30lb weight loss anytime. Best decision I’ve ever made. The hardest part for me is trying to kick the sugar habit.

I can’t wait! I was so against it but realizing after 20+ years of dieting I can’t do it in my own. I am 45 yo divorced with 2 great young boys and so much to do but these last 5 years have been a struggle because of the weight. I’ve come to terms with braking up with food and stress eating no more.

I was thinking the same thing!

So you have lost 79 pounds since surgery? Or is that a total from when all this started for you?
