I was 45. Now 54. In no way are you pushing the envelope of surgery. It isnt about the age you are but the age you want to see.. Good luck to you and your travel..

I am 66 years old and had my sleeve done one month ago. Age was not an issue for me or my surgeon. I am thrilled that I did it. Best decision I have made in years!

I was 63 3 days before my surgery! I was super worried about my age as well, but so far so good. I'm 10 weeks out this Tuesday and I'm feeling fine physically. I did not have any problems. I feel like I am a slow loser and that may have something to do with my age. I'm down 35 lbs. and I see lots of posts where people lose faster. I'm feeling better each day though and that 35 lbs really makes a difference!! So I'm happy I did it. I say go for it!!!

i was 60. Next month I'll be 65. Best thing I ever did. I see my future, moving into older age, as one of activity and health - a far cry from what it would have been without this life-saving intervention.
