I turned 41 on 10/28. I was sleeved 10/22. Doing well. Losing slowly it feels like but I feel great and am off all of my diabetes and blood pressure meds. Wish I'd done it so much sooner.

That's fabulous to be off of those meds. I have high blood pressure too and hoping to be off soon..my date is 12/20

I'm 57, 2 months post

Good luck today!

Just had it done on November 8th and am 49.

I’m 54 and 5 months post-op. I’m down 69 pounds. I do wish I had done this when my skin was a little younger and springier though. ?

i'm 44 had my sleeve on 8/13

Yep I was 1 week shy of my 41st.

How are you feeling after surgery? Hopefully you got to go home.

I am 40 and am 5 weeks post-op. No complications so far (besides, like everyone else, trying to pass a stone where you shouldn't). Just had my 1 month post op appt earlier today and doc says I'm doing well, I feel excellent, energetic, and have had tons of NSV's in a really short period of time.

To the original poster - my 1 week post op appt was a post surgery class that included about 10 other people that were also 1 week post op- I would say at least 7 or 8 out of those 11 people were 40+. I wouldn't worry too much about the age thing.

I had mine done on November 6th and I am 41... so far down 50lbs from my highest weight, and grateful. I feel lucky to have gone with the doctor I had and did not have any complications... I was tired for the first few days but really set goals to get up and walk every hour there is so much truth to the walk walk walk and sip sip sip statements made, also my surgeon used a pain block sheet which lasted a few days after surgery which I think really helped with recovery and getting moving. I 100% agree with people saying get ahead of the constipation that continues to be my nemesis! lol. Good luck with the new move and your journey!
