  1. 18 years old and nervous about surgery

    emilycath posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am turning 18 in April and I am scheduled to have surgery a few weeks after my birthday, do you think I have a more advantage or disadvantage because of my age? Am I more or less likely to have complications? I am 260 pounds at 5'7 and is 135 a realistic goal? And how long could this possibly take? My mom had the vertical sleeve a year from this month and have dropped from 300 to 180 in 12 months and she says the weight will just drop off of me. Also, will I have a lot of extra skin?
