I'm 22 and I got sleeved on 1.15.2016 it's been kind of tough so far but I'm still very early in my journey and adjusting emotionally. Going into this a lot of people said that I was too young but I am happy I went through with it. They say these are the best years of life and I don't want to waste them. I also don't want to keep waiting while things get worse and worse. I wish you luck! And it's great that you'll have your family to lean on since they have experience with this.

Just got back from having surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Carlos Altamirano on 1/15/16. It went wonderful and the staff was friendly and attentive. Tijuana was a lively city and I had a safe and wonderful trip. No regrets so far.

Wow 80 pounds is a great accomplishment!! Don't sell yourself short. I'm only 6 days post op so far but I can only hope to have your kind of success after 6 months.

I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! Currently recovering in the hospital room. Right out of surgery I was in so much pain. Nauseous, tired, dry month, incisions felt awful. I cried and thought about why I put myself through this but in a few hours I was up and walking and I've been walking lots ever since. I feel wonderful and I can't wait to start seeing and feeling my results

Congrats!!!

You look incredible!!! And I loooove the outfit in your after pic!

Congrats!

January 15th!!

The "losers bench" is a good thing!! It means you're officially on the other side of surgery and are going to start losing weight with the rest of the sleeved family. Surgery for me is 19 days away but it is all going by so quickly. My sister asked me the other day how I am so calm. I told her it's probably because it just hasn't hit me yet haha. I'm getting more nervous by the day but I'm trying to focus on other people's positive success stories. That helps a lot.

You look incredible! And I love that dress

Mine will be $4,000 total. Half is coming from strict savings and half will be a loan from Avant.com. They have higher interest rates but are easy to use and dont charge fees or prepayment penalties.

I purchased them for post-op but haven't used one yet since I still have regular multi-Vitamin pills. I've heard really great things though! I'll test one out soon.

@@avocadoPAK I am 21 as well. I have not told anyone besides my close family (although they aren't too fond of it) and my girlfriend (who is supportive and happy for me). Being younger is tough because a lot of people think I have not thought this through or that I should just keep trying to lose weight naturally but I have been overweight since childhood. I'm so excited to get my sleeve but I will definitely be keeping it to myself.

Congrats, sending prayers up for you! Also, I'm not sure how to change the name on the mobile app. But online you can go to the top right corner and next to your current display name click the gear icon for more options. Then on the next page click the Display Name button on the left hand side and change it from there. I hope that helps!
