I just turned 50 in May and I'm being sleeved this Friday December 7, 2018 and I'm wondering if the weight loss is slower or harder after the sleeve for the 50 and up crew....

I was 56 when I got sleeved in February of this year. It’s definitely slower, but I felt 20 years older than my age before the surgery and now I feel 20 years younger!

I'm getting my sleeve December 26. I'm 56 years old and right now feel as if I'm 86.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!!

I was feeling older, tired, aching you name it...so I understand, but after surgery you will be amazed at how good you feel after you are all healed up and getting around, you will have much more energy, smile more...It's just a win win ?

Fabolous 50! Congratulations on your surgery date.

I was 45 when I was sleeved. I turned 50 in November. Celebrate that the weight is coming off fast or slow. Think of where your weight will be on your 51st birthday.

I turned 50 about 2 months after my surgery. I can't tell you if it came off slower than someone younger than me but what I do know is it came off faster and more consistently than any other diet I have been on.

Best of luck on your journey!
