    I'm 54 and had my surgery on 1/22/19. My husband is very fit and very active. We used to do outdoor things together but as my weight got bigger my back pain started keeping me from walking or cycling.

  • Do you realize if you haven't grown up by the age of 50, you no longer are Under any obligation to?

    Turned 50 last October and got sleeved 2/6. As someone who survived stage 3 breast cancer at age 40, turning 50 was a huge milestone. But it also kinda sucked because I was at 41% BMI and super unh

What procedure are you referring to? I am a 73 (December 26,1945) RuN bypasser, we have many sleevers who are 59-68, I have an ESG friend in Dayton Ohio, I'm sure you can find lapbands who are happy still. Probably Sips , MGB, maybe Obera balloon or 2. Name your procedure you're querying about. And 99% of us would not go back to our old lives!

Happy Pre-Birthday @ elder. May your future birthdays be thinner, healthier, and most of all, may they all be Happy!?☀?
Elcee, my phone just must hate your name because it does this so often. I do not share the phone's opinion, I like you very much!

I'm scheduled to have the gastric sleeve in January. I've been binge watching YouTube vlogs nonstop and everyone looks so young. I want to do this for better health and longevity.

Feeling too old for this procedure. Anybody out there 50+? Halla back.

I am 48 and had my sleeve bypass on 12-11 It is so far the best thing I have ever done in my life, I have been vary lucky and have had no problems. The reason I made this choice is because of all of the pain I have in my legs and feet. I had a stroke 4 yrs ago. Then 4 month later I had accepted meningitis was in a coma for a week, I have chronic lyme disease and then got Gillian berriet syndrome so over 4 yrs I gained 179 lbs I almost lost my life. I now have 2 grandsons 2 and 3 and I cant even move without major pain. I feel this will get me my life back and give me the chance to live. I think age has nothing to do with wanting to feel good about yourself, 50 is the new 30. Take the chance to be healthy. I have already lost 19 lbs and can't wait yo continue to get healthy. Let me know how things go for you. Get excited to start your life again.
56 just got 11year lapband removed. Looking forward to getting VSG February
Your only as old as you feel

I’m 52 and was sleeved in October. My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner!! Don’t listen to the naysayers!
