Starting out at age 45? How common?

[Debbieduck4 399]

I'm 53 and had my surgery in December... So glad I did!

[Hagengirl3 65]

I'm 50 and am scheduled for surgery on March 26. I questioned if I were too old as well, but am really happy to see that that is not an issue.

Wow I am really encouraged to hear it works for us at our age. I'm just getting the ball rolling with insurance approval. Can't wait to be healthy!

46 here, but feeling younger than I have in ages!

I'm contemplating plastic surgery in the next year or two. Hot 50 here I come!

Banded at 52 and so happy with the fifties "me" -- woukd habe loved this solution in my thirties or forties but here it is now. Thank goodness! I would never question being too old for WLS -- too young, maybe (not sure where I am on that)....

I was 52 when I had my surgery....

Anyone else out there just getting started in their mid 40s? I keep reading most people doing this are younger.

Oh please...lol. I did this at 54 and as you can see from the other posts, there are plenty of people who are older than you. You have lots and lots of years left and there's no reason why you cannot change your life now. The five years prior to my surgery were awful. My world was shrinking as I was getting larger. I'm healthier and smaller than I've been since I was a young woman and I'm living like a young woman again. Age is just a number!

I am exactly 45 years young

I am 64 and was sleeved near the end of last September.

[LSF 264]

I was 46 when I got the lapband, 52 when I had the revision to sleeve.

[Okiebon 61]

I'm 44, halfway to 45, and having surgery in 3 weeks.

I'm so glad this question came up. I've been asking myself the same thing, worrying I might be too "old" for this surgery. Not anymore!

I'm 46 and ready to live the rest of my life a healthier me. Having my surgery on March 4, but am already pleased with the changes I've made pre-op.
