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

I'm turning 60 in 2 weeks and have a tentative date in Oct to be sleeved! I can't wait to be able to REALLY enjoy the next chapter of 25-40 years feeling healthy, strong, flexible and stable!!!

I’m 72 and just had sleeve surgery march1. Not too hard.

50 years old and just had my 3 month follow up: down 54 pounds!

Very proud Sheribear , of You and For You, very good start to your remodeling, keep it up and the world will be your oyster!

Had surgery in June 2014 (age 45) June I will be five years out (age 50)

I bounced back from surgery easily with no complications. Surgery is my second chance in life. I feel much younger and healthier than I did in my 30’s. I can keep up with the grand kids and have more adventures in life.

And this is a very good reason to have had surgery. 50 is the new 30 for YOU!❤

ALWAYS be what you are no matter what your Age. You were not merely born to impress someone else.
Just be YOU- everyone else is already taken.

I’m 57 and will have RNY on 6/10.

@Palombella - me too.

I’m 67. My scheduled date is a little over a week from now. June 17th. My pantry is stocked with Bone Broth, Jello & Apple sauce. My fridge has protein drinks & water. My freezer is stocked with sugar-free popsicles & frozen fruit for smoothies. LET’S GO!!!

I had gastric sleeve 12/26/10 — 5 1/2 months out. Feel fabulous. One of the BEST things I’ve ever done and not just for myself. I want to be a healthier and more fit and more fun wife, mama and Gramma! I truly feel the best is yet to come! Oh — down 52 lbs! Almost 1/2 way there!

Awesome!!!! Surgery for me was 2/20/19 - 3 1/2 months and down 40 from surgery weight and 58lbs down from starting weight 283. I feel like a million bucks!! I went from wearing a size 22, 20 and 18 to now wearing a size 16.

I want to drop 50lbs getting down to 175 more then i will maintain.

Keep up the good work!!!

Good luck to you! I had mine 2/20/2019.

I am 55 and had the sleeve June 4 after many years of debating with myself whether or not I should have WLS. Hoping to find some women close to my age having recently had surgery to bounce things off off.

Well it shouldn't be too difficult, there many more over 50s than there used to be. I guess we all realized it was time, we wanted surgery before everything fell apart. And to all the people who say "Why now?" or "Couldn't you have found a better age or time?"
Well now is a perfect time for me, I have the commitment, I have the time, I do know what I am doing. In my case, I realized I feared surgery a lot less than remaining obese, in pain and no hope for the future. Now things have fallen in place like a Big JigSaw puzzle, there are pieces still to put in, but I expect it to be pretty enough it should be framed. So watch the jet contrail, I'm flying high, straight and true and my destination is just ahead. My personal motto today;
Making the Rest of My Life the Best of My Life!
