@@Shelby How do you feel? Tired? Do you have to get B12 shots? I haven't had my surgery done when I signed up for this account because my insurance twice denied me for being too young. I'm 18 now, but I'm scared of the post-operative care. Not the pain or the surgery, but becoming anemic and finding Vitamins that will meet my nutritional needs. Just wanted to connect to someone who's similar in weight, age, and height so I could see what I might look like.

Ask what you will. Ya' hooligans.

Hello. i'm nicole. I decided to elect for surgery when I was fourteen, but was too afraid of being turned down by my parents so I waited until I was sixteen. I'll be 17 next week, time is a tick-tick-ticking. My sleep study is on the 6th which leads into my birthday, so i guess that's kinda of a happy thing if I'm cleared? I have gone through the six month trial that shows my progress (started at 300 and now down to 270) to my insurance company Tricare North, prove skeletal maturity, and go through two psychological evaluations. Did you guys have to do any of this? What insurance do ya'll have? Staples or Harmonic Scalpel (cauterization)? Why did you decide to get the surgery? And why VSG? Are you guys upset that you won't be able to drink as much or even s and possibly carry a breathalyzer? Or even stop drinking all together? Has anyone heard about the leg problems that patients 3+ years experience? Do you have any family members that are larger than you or are the largest in your family? And do you plan on pushing the surgery onto them? Is your excess skin well, um....., ITCHY? What supplements do you take to combat malnutrition? What's the extent of your hairloss? Yes, it is inevitable, but HOW MUCH did you lose and how fast and at what point in your weight loss was the hairloss at its worst? Will anyone here elect to get plastic surgery to remove excess skin? lonely ;(?
