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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
