The sleeve does require diet & exercise. This is an important fact!! It is about diet & exercise. 80 grams of Protein - low carb and low fat. So in the end it is about what you put in.

Yes, this is true! I hope my comment wasn't misleading - it's absolutely important that we eat right and exercise post-op or we will not meet our weight loss goals!

Mina is right. Start trying to make some of the changes now and the shock to your body and psyche will not be as, well, shocking. I can almost guarantee you there will be no regrets. I was 63 when I found the sleeve. I am so glad you will be turning your life around while you are young. God bless and happy trails to you...Kathe

Using the pre-surgery time to ready yourself is so important....mina is so right....

As far as age....oh my i wish the sleeve had been available when i was young... Been obese my entire life... Tried all the diets out there, lost weight and then gained more for years....became unhealthy and unhappy....
