Starting out at age 45? How common?

I'm 41 and I'm having my surgery in April. For me it's never too late.

I was 61 when I had surgery! I year this month. I have Blue Cross Oklahoma. BEST THING I EVER DID. Was never over weight until my late 40s. Lost over 100 lbs. YOU can do it, being healthy has no age.

I am 48 and will have my surgery on May 15. I am looking forward to spending my 50's and beyond at a healthy weight.

I had my surgery when I was 43 and 1/2. My only regret? Not doing it sooner!!!

I'm 43 and having bypass may 8. I actually felt like I was in the young 1/3 of my nurse consult class of about 30.

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

I just had gastric sleeve 3/9/17! Mid 40s would have been nice but insurance and finance would not allow. So here I am at 59 and one month post-op. The changes are surprising and daily! I'm down 20#s from surgery and 70+#s from when I started getting clearance/ medical tests, checkups and follow ups. I can't wait til 3 month check up and hopefully having lost 100+#s by then! Hang in there youngsters! Best is yet to come!

I'll be 59yrs old this year. I'm still going through the process...classes, psych eval. nutritionist, etc. I'm scheduled to attend a 4 1/2 hrs orientation class on 4/27. I am so looking forward to WLS. Good luck to you.
