46 and wish I had done it 10 years ago! My children are following in my footsteps obesity-wise, unfortunately, and I would support them if they wanted to do surgery at 22!

Turned 35 three weeks before surgery. Wish I had done it ten years earlier! Feel so much better!

Successfully having both my knees replaced convinced me it was not too late to turn things around. So far I've surprised not only my doctors but myself. I feel better now than I have in probably 20 years ☺️

But I agree that it is more about where you are emotionally with eating. There is no turning back.

It has to be about more than just appearance. You have to truly want to eat differently for the rest of your LIFE. I would not have been ready for that choice at your age and personally, I think it would be difficult to eat enough while I was pregnant if I had had the sleeve. (With a normal stomach I lost weight while I was pregnant.)

However, you are not me. My wholehearted advice is not "yes" or "no." I think you are doing the right thing gathering information and not rushing into anything. Research lots, search your heart. It's not all or nothing -- if you don't do it now you can do it later. If you decide that you are ready, then commit completely and don't look back once it's done.

Good luck!
