I’m al older mother, had my energetic boy at 41. Now 46, hypothyroid, and exhausted all the time I had the sleeve one month ago. I am 21 lbs down in one month, and though I have a ways to go, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. My energy level is better now than in my 20’s, even being far from my goal. Health reasons aside, I want to chase after my son and lead a more active and athletic lifestyle. Best of luck to you in your journey.
