Hello! so i was just accepted into my dream university and i will be starting in the fall. i was wondering what life is like with the sleeve when a student in college. I'm getting sleeved in mid february so i will be about about 6 months in when i start school.

oh yeah the loose skin and hair loss is scary too!

i've had surgery before that was the same amount of time that this should be so i'm not as worried about that. but i get what you mean about the pain. i hate it and i know that it is going to be bad. but i mean what are we going to do about it, we are starting new lives. i'm a control freak too so don't worry!!! and i was between getting the band and the sleeve for a long time. the reason i decided on the sleeve was because of college and not wanting to have the lap band for the rest of my life. but the 80 percent of my stomach being removed is scary. i'm worried about that. i'm also worried about the liquid diet and not eating real food for a month.

Yes. I think about it a lot and sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me. But I'm getting more excited! Are you nervous?

Money is one of the best things ????

Hi! I am planning on having my surgery in mid February. So we are kind of close! I don't have my date yet but I should be getting it in the next week or two!

Oh man. The first day is always the worst though. It will get better. Think about the moneyyyy haha

It is! i'm really excited! but i honestly just want my date to know that i'm all set!

I can't set a date until my 18th birthday but we are thinking right after that ( feb 2) I have everything done! I just need insurance approval

Thanks SO much congrats on being 4 months out and 60 down!! i'm glad you are happy

aw well i hope her back gets better after she has surgery! and i know my dad is nervous, that is why he won't agree to having surgery just yet. i'm trying to help him

tell her congrats!!! my dad is following my footsteps. he keeps saying that this is my time, and i have to keep telling him that his health is more important. hahah. but our parents are annoying because they love us...right...right? hahah.

i'm very active as well. I realized that i'm not going to be able to do a lot of the things i love right after surgery. (boo) I know how you feel with asking people for help, i have trouble with that too. sometimes my mom has to say "LET ME HELP YOU." or stuff like that hahah.

being stuck in the house for what ten straight days would make me crazy too! i don't know what i'm going to do when i get out of surgery!

i'm seventeen and having surgery in february. i'm also scared. you are not alone! getting surgery is a scary thing, but we are doing this to make ourselves healthier...so go us!

oh thats ok though!!! At least you have your date! finally!!! i'm doing well right now. how are you doing? are you ready for the liquid diet? i know i'm not.

Congrats!!! the pain thing can be stressful. i remember i was so nervous before i had my last surgery that i was going to wake up or something. you can't help but be nervous! i'm sure though that you will be fine. we both will I am so excited to have this as a sort of birthday present. it is sort of a new beginning! When do you think you will get your date? i hope it is around your birthday as well!

I also don't have my date yet. But I'm shooting for mid February. Wisdom teeth are no fun! I also don't do well with pain so this shall be interesting for the both of us. I have one more appointment and then I will be done all my preop req's! How about you? I have to wait until I'm eighteen though, my doctor doesn't do surgery on minors so February it is!
