I am a Revision from RNY to DS, today i am 4 months out, and I was 32 years old when I got my DS. Wish I would have known about it before I ever had the RNY, i think id be further along by now. 68 pounds gone as of today.

I was 52 when I had mine and turned 53 one month later.

Pregnancy was never an issue, since I had a hysterectomy at age 35.  I kept both ovaries, but one eventually had to be removed.

Both surgeries were the best decisions I made!

Okay, I guess I'm the old fart around here. I'll be 64 in 2 month. 

Thrilled to death I had the DS, no doubt about it.

42...I think....I lose track or choose to lose track...lol. Yeah, having the DS at 42 in three weeks. I wished I had done this in my 30s. I have lost quite a few years of my life to being a prisoner in my body.

Just turned 27. My DS surgery date is May 8. I have a 7 year old and don't plan on having any more kids. I want to travel in my older years and do missionary work.

I was 48 when I had my surgery last December.  Like many others, I wish I had done this many years ago, but then again I am at just the right point in my life for this.  My daughter is older and ready to go to college, so I have enough time to focus on taking care of myself and adapting to the WLS lifestyle changes.

I was 21 when I had the surgery and I am two years out.  I am still losing weight and have no regain at all.  I am going in for my skin removal in August. 

I had to realize AFTER I had the surgery that it wasn't a quick fix.  I had to change my LIFE and once I realized that then everything changed, the weight melted off and I was able to use my DS as a tool instead of depending on it to fix my bad habits. 

I do not regret getting my DS at such a young age.  I have my WHOLE life ahead of me to live EXACTLY as I want and do all of the things I never thought I could do and all the things I could never even dream of.
