41. Did my sleeve on 10/29. Doing well so far. Cleared to slowly incorporate any (healthy) foods I want.

Thats good I'm a little bit nervous of the after effects from waking up as I saw a lot of people on YouTube with the testimonials

I’m not gonna lie - the immediate aftermath wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. But I felt pretty good fairly quickly. My one piece of (very TMI) advice - stay ahead of Constipation if you have it. That was my most unpleasant side effect.

I’m 54 and getting mine on December 17, never late!!

I turned 40 in February and was sleeved on October 29. Not complications so far other than the previously mentioned Constipation.

47-sleeved July 10th. Worst right now is the Hair loss but I’m managing!

44 here. Recovery was not nearly as bad as I anticipated, but no walk in the park. I think it depends a lot on your surgeon and nurses. I was lucky to have a very experienced and skilled surgeon and the hospital helped me manage my pain well. The Constipation can get really BAD, the combo of high Protein, low Fiber and not being able to manage enough Fluid makes for a bad intestinal time. Colace seems to be a mild preventative but Milk of Magnesia is much more effective if it is in full swing. I'm bracing myself for the Hair loss and just praying it isn't too bad, especially since I am already thin. I've seen a lot of after pictures though, and no one seems to have horrific loss, so I am hoping that it won't look too awful.

I’m 43 and I’m doing mine on 12/18.

[April Marie 69]

Mine was the day before but I'm in the process of moving so that's why I got it changed

I’m 44 and had the sleeve done in October. I’m so happy I did it!
