@raveena128I work at UD haha! I am also a student at Wilmington University. I would definitely suggest waiting until after finals. You don't know if you will have any complications *knock on wood* It is best to get it done during the summer, that's what I did and I'm thankful I did because I DID have complications.

That's awesome!!! I just got my date for June 12. Plenty of time to heal during the summer and be ready to get back into the swing of things

Hey I'm a junior in college who's 3.5 months post op and I've lost 70 pounds so far So far my journey is going well! I have an apartment on campus with a kitchen so I've been able to have a lot of control over my diet and I go to a large school so I get lots of walking in every days. I honestly have 0 regrets about getting sleeved.

I think my biggest piece of advice as a college student is to keep to a routine and plan your meals. Like always make sure you have good food on hand in your dorm so you aren't tempted to grab something high carb/high sugar from the dining hall/cafes on campus when you're on the go.

Best of luck with finals and I hope things go well for you! [emoji4]

That's cool that you work at UD. Thank you for the advice. Hopefully will have surgery scheduled two weeks after finals, so I don't have to do the diet while doing finals lol. Sorry to hear you had complications. How are you in your journey now?

Hi Jesse, I'm a sophomore at the university of Delaware. I haven't had surgery yet, but my final clearance appointment is on Friday. Hopefully I'll get my surgery approved and scheduled soon. Do you think I should wait until after finals?

This is what makes these kinds of posts so dangerous sometimes. This isn't to take away from anyone who has had legitimate medical issues post-op that have nothing to do with them making poor choices. Some people will have issues, but others will not. I can tell you that I had a practically seamless surgery and recovery. I had one little infection with the incision inside of my belly button. I took antibiotics for a week and it cleared right up. Other than that, everything has been routine.
I encourage you to think about the facts. Eating and drinking, as you have known them, will change forever; you will have to follow the guidelines of your plan to be healthy and successful; any positive change in your life requires sacrifice, perseverance, and grit. If you are willing to rise to the challenge, you should be fine.
Please don't let anyone's particular experience derail you from what could be a life-changing experience for YOU.
Good luck.
