I'm 40!and looking forward to the best years of my life.

[oceangirlpc 68]

i'm new to this, i'm 46 and i'm just starting this road. I should have surgery once I complete this required 6 mo process should be Jan. Seems like it will take forever. I am so depressed with myself yet insprired by all the stories here. I thought this was only for the 20's and 30's somethings. I am glad to find many more are doing this for themselves in their 40s. I am over the "what will people say, and how to respond" fear. I don't care about anyones comments anymore. I want this for me. I am so wanting to feel better, sleep better and breathe better when I walk or anything for that matter. I have many ideas and dreams for myself. Thank you for all your posts. It was so good to see them all. I PRAY this will speed up.

LOL! I was 68 when I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Why in the world would anyone not choose a better way of life at ANY age?!

I've had zero problems with WLS as a result of my age. The new lease on life I now have to enjoy my golden years is worth millions to me. Millions!
