Hi...My surgery is December 12 if all goes well like it should~ And I start my pre-op diet on the 28th.

congrats!

I'm only 18 and I'm very interested in getting the VSG. I was interested in the Lap Band for the longest time but after reading about both and hearing about them at the seminar, I have no interest in getting the band over the sleeve. I know this is a life changing decision, so how do you feel over someone so young getting the sleeve? I have an appointment next week with Dr. Hoehn in Kansas City. They will then submit my information to insurance. Thanks for any feedback. [:

Think of it this way, we'll be avoiding future health problems that would come along with waiting!

or, would you rather lose excess weight you've been carrying for 5 years or 10 years? Surely most people would pick 5 years because that means there is less damage to your body right?

Nope! I'm 17 but I haven't been sleeved yet. :/ but I've been approved for surgery and will have it in a couple months. c:
