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?

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 was wondering the same thing with the over 40 especially as we enter the menopause phase if life. Will I slid down wieght loss or not.

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.

I am 46 and got sleeved on August 27th. Doing well for the most part. Still trying to figure things out.

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'm 45 and got sleeved on 8/31/18. I'm down 34lbs so far. I wish I would of done it 10 years ago.

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

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT STILL MOVING FORWARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE EXERCISE AND NOT EAT THE BAD STUFF AND IT WILL MOVE AGAIN

40, sleeves Wednesday of last week.

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.

I'm 44 and getting sleeved on Monday. I've lost 50 lb on my own. I feel like this is the perfect time in my life to do it.
