I am 34 now and getting sleeved 4/13. I wish I could have had this done at 21 :)

I'm 36 & just got sleeved 7.5 weeks ago. It would have been nice to do it sooner, but that may have changed the course of my life & I might have missed the happiness I found through the path I took. Plus I've had 4 kids & they might have ruined a perfect body. They're like that....suck the pretty right out of you....haha!!

I just turned 32, and had my sleeve at 30 and 3/4, Turning 30 was a big awakening for me, it marked a point in time where over 50% of my life had been consumed by failed diets, and enough was enough! I like to think I'm improving with age! ;)

I'm so weird but this thread is so moving to me! To read all the comments and see what point everyone is/was when this life changing tool helped them. Somehow this is uplifting to me. Anyhoo! I'm 29 and will be 30 in December. I was sleeved 8 days ago and hope to make 30 looking and feeling like the best birthday I ever had!! I think this was the best age for me to have this done.

I'm 51, better late than never. But RNY never seemed right for me, and just recently found out about the sleeve. Last year, I lost 200 lbs of ugly fat through a divorce. So I figured it was time to get rid of that last 100 lbs, so I could feel good and be healthier while starting the next chapter of my life.

Guess I'm the oldest here... 63 when I was sleeved on October 14, 2012. Only regret is not having done it sooner.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
