TeeMillz 30 Posted December 3, 2018 I just turned 50 in May and I'm being sleeved this Friday December 7, 2018 and I'm wondering if the weight loss is slower or harder after the sleeve for the 50 and up crew....Sent from my REVVLPLUS C3701A using BariatricPal mobile app 8 The 56 Bypass, jo ann c troupe, Wanda247 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted December 3, 2018 Could be slower,could be sustained longer, but at 50+.60+70+ we are no longer required to be sprinters, besides in bifocals it's hard to run anyway.

Wanda247 908 Posted December 3, 2018 Hi...I'm 52 and I may be losing a little slower than someone that's younger and I stall often BUT I am steady with my weight loss and couldn't be happier and pleased. I keep in the back of my mind what one of the posters @Matt Z stated and shared in one of his earlier post, it's the big picture. That post really left a good impression on my mind. I am so okay with my rate of weight loss because in 12-18 months I am CERTAIN that I will be at goal and living my best life. 💪 You will be just fine as long as you stick to your plan and try to move as much as you can 😉 14 1 TeeMillz, Healthy_life, ProudGrammy and 12 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggiG 176 Posted December 3, 2018 I will be 63 the day of my surgery. I plan to dive right in and exercise (slowly at first). I can't wait. 8 Wanda247, TeeMillz, FluffyChix and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liz The New Me 281 Posted December 3, 2018 I'm in the 50+ club. Sleeved in September 2018 I try not compare myself to the young ones. My metabolism has been dead for years. So yes it may be slower but I think if it is then maybe I will not have to deal to badly with the loose skin to much. LOL 7 1 1 ProudGrammy, Julie B.
