I found out on Thursday I could have the sleeve done on Monday..No Prep diet for me.only day befor surgery on liquid diet..i think it does have something to do with your BMI .mine was 35.the only reason I qualified is because I have high blood pressure...

I'm not sure if age has anything to do with it.My Dr told me because I only need to lose 60 lbs mine might take longer than someone that has much more to lose.im 17 day post surgery and I am down 18lbs..not to shabby for a 62 year old..lol

I just had the sleeve done 17 days ago.i have about 60 lbs to lose my bmi was barely 35...i have high blood pressure so it was a breeze to get quiified. I went to one dr and they qualified me but ended up going to a Dr at UCI..a suggestion from my support nurse at Blue Cross Boeing..the surgery was easy.no pain meds after I left the hospital..no problems ..i have lost 18 lbs so far again 17 days after surgery.i will tell you.follow the diet the nutritionist gives you.drink lots of water slowly. And walk walk walk.this helps weightloss and healing and gets you outside or off the couch if you live in the cold....You will be fine..alot of it is mind over matter.i went into this very possitively.said I was not gonna have problems and I didnt.. i had a wonderful team of Dr's and a great staff helping me...
