Little bits - how much are you loosing while you wait? are you trying not to lose too much? My husband had the sleeve & DS 3 years ago and lost 200 pounds so I think I'm pretty prepared for everything and am just anxious to get going. Tomorrow is my consult - I'm hoping the insurance won't be six months!

I also am 51 and lost my mother last year after nursing her for a while and have my first consultation for the sleeve on Monday. Weight has been an issue my entire lifeand I have tried every program and had success several times but put the weight back on. My husband had the sleeve with DS (the more drastic operation) 3 years ago and loss and has kept off 200 pounds. The first thing you should do is find a seminar/support group in your area. You will get fired up and ready to make a change. My insurance might be the only thing holding me back. It would be nice to go thru this with someone the same age. Good luck with your decision.

I'm also 5'1 and a HALF. I have my consult on Monday (3/28) and have been advised by the scheduling nurse that the insurance probably will require 6 month weight loss program. My husband had a VERY successful DS w/sleeve 3 years ago and can eat whatever he wants and not gain - it is so depressing! Dea I've considered taking swim lessons but figured I'm too old at 51.
