I'm 40 and was sleeved October 25, 2010. Life most everyone else I wish I could have done it sooner but I'm planning on enjoying my 40's to make up for it. :D

I'm 46 and am delighted to have had my sleeve done on January 18, 2010. I believe it will be a wonderful tool to help me lose weight and a huge change in my life.

I'm 36 years old, and was sleeved in November. Wishing that my dad (who is 62) would do it, but he's got a different excuse every day.

I'm 38. (I will be 39 on Feb.6, so yep, I too am still claiming to be 38). I was sleeved just 5 days ago.

I was sleeved a month after my 28th b-day! Loving it, and the thought of being healthy for the rest of my life! People would make comments before, like "Your young, you don't need surgery....You can do it on your own"! But by then I had already been battling my weight for about 14yrs. They actually made me stop & question myself. So glad I didn't listen to those people!

I'm 42, sleeve date 24 Feb. I'm not too bothered about having waited to do this, life has its rhythms. I wasn't willing to do a DS (ever, as 41 was my highest BMI -- though my surgeon referred to it as the BMW of surgeries lol) or RnY (again, not keen on anything touching the intestines), though I've looked at them several years ago as possibilities. The sleeve was the first thing that said YES to me. (And I didn't even know about the band until it was already not done anymore in this country due to too many complications.)

I'm 58 and had my sleeve on 01/03/2011. Like all of the other "seasoned" individuals here B) , I wish it had been around 30 years ago.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
