Good Luck to you! Mine is on Monday. I am still scared to death but recognize that the decision to add a "tool" to my battle with fat and diabetes is a great opportunity, especially considering my advanced age to go under anesthesia for 3-4 hours at age 64.5.

I hope all goes well for you.

Good luck to both of you, the sleeve should only last about 1 hour long so you have less anesthesia time to worry about.

Lexie, break a leg!

Ladies in your sixties, I'm 68 and was sleeved 5 weeks ago. I can't tell that my recovery has been any different or harder than for younger WLS patients. So chances are there's no age disadvantage to this dealio.

They are checking me out of the hospital as I write this. I'll say more once I get a little more energy. I certainly do not feel like doing the waltz or going on a shopping spree but I don't fee wretched. And I never once said or thought that I made the wrong choice. This is just the hard part. Now I just need to follow instructions and I will be fierce!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
