Anyone over 55 - can you tell me your experience with the sleeve?

Had vsg at almost 55 years old. Recovery was hard for the first week and a half; but not as bad as I expected. I had difficulty just moving around at first. I took 4 weeks off work. was glad I did. First week back, came home ate a bit, and went right to bed in order to stay up the whole day. By 8 weeks out I felt really good. By 4 months out, I felt as though someone had turned back the hands of time.

Now at 56 y/o I am more active than I have been in 30 years. Gone from woman's plus size 28 to a petite ladies size 14/16. Lost 120 pounds; healthy and happy.

Do it !

 I had mine done a month before I turned 57 and I am 16 months out.  I have had no complications and have found it to be a very easy process!  I feel better now that I have in years!

Got mine at 71 1/2 years of age.

Am now 75, and loving life after over a 100 lb loss.

Good luck,

Fred

I was 59 when I had the surgery and turned 60 about 4 months later. Would do it again in a heart beat! Am pleased with the rate of weight loss and do 90 minute combination of walking and stationary bicycling daily. Some days I walk more and bike less - whatever adds up to 90 min of exercise per day. I feel great, weigh less than the weight on my drivers license and less than when I graduated from high school. Good luck!

 I had my surgery when I was 59. Now I'm 61.  I wish I had it sooner, but oh well.  It's the best choice I made for better health. I love my sleeve. My signature tells my story.

Go for it! I doubt you'd regret it.
