Looking for 40's Sleevers :)



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm 46 and new to the site. I have my consultation on Friday and am really excited, but would really like to visit with some sleevers who are around my age. Anybody out there in their 40's? All responses really appreciated!!

There is actually a whole forum dedicated to age groups. This is where you can get some great input from those members who are around the same age. I will be 41 in January and I am 10 weeks post op. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Age Specific VSG Support Groups

These forums allow you to discuss age specific Vertical Sleeve (VSG) issues with others in your age group.

I was sleeved August 9, and I turned 40 just 10 days later (August 19). I love my sleeve and this forum. :)

Good luck at your consultation. I hope things go smoothly for you.

I turned 45 on 10/8 & was sleeved 10/14. Still adjusting, I'm back at work (went back on 10/24) figuring out what to eat and how much, but I'm loving it! Feel free to ask any questions. Welcome!

Hi All,

I turn 44 on 11/11 and I'm more healthy today then when I was 34! I had the band to sleeve revision by Dr. Aceves on 10/12/11 so I'm about 3 weeks out. I am so glad to be rid of the band :)

Thanks for all the support!

I had my sleeve done on May 25th, 2011, I was 46. I just turned 47 in September. It has been great, I wish I would have done it years ago but timing is everything.

I was sleeved July 12th at 47. I will be 48 in December. VSG was the absolute best decision of my life. I feel sooooo much better than I ever dreamed possible!! Good luck to you!

      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.
