Glower

I'm a bit late here, but I got sleeved 8 days before my 19th birthday. Do I struggle? Yeah. But it's still the best decision I've made in my life. I'm able to move easier. I can sleep better. I can SHOP. Its completely changed my life already.
Why should I keep living in pain and getting worse and worse just because I'm young? I was dieting since I was 12. I had tried lots of stuff. I was ready.
F them.

So, older people, please don't get upset with me.
We have a forum for women. We have one for men. Hell, theres one for single people to meet. Can there please be one for people who got WLS as young adults/teens? There are almost no resources for us. I got sleeved shortly before my 19th birthday. I want to talk to other people who have gone through college with WLS, and how they navigated the party scene, and the dining hall, and being away from their doctor! I know it seems weird but I want to tell people about how I figured out how to hack my campus Starbucks menu so I could still have stuff there.
Getting WLS as a young adult or teen is a very different experience than getting sleeved as a working adult, as most people do. It's isolating. It's lonely. Help me make a community. Help me make it easier.
