I am also 20 and have PCOS as well as family history of hypertension and diabetes. I was never diagnosed with any of them besides PCOS but I know having the sleeve was the right choice for me. Last summer, I went through the entire process for the sleeve and was denied the first time for not having a high enough BMI. This time, I was approved by insurance and it was the best decision. I can definitely relate to your fears about it being a big decision at 20. Even though I just had the surgery last week I can say with confidence that I am so much happier and know that I’m on the path to a healthier lifestyle. I am so glad I had the opportunity to do this for myself now and be able to do get a tool like this when I am young. Being in college, I know it won’t be easy but I definitely know that it was right! Good luck - you’ll definitely make the choice that’s right for you :)

I am 8 days post op and I have been steadily losing weight since but all of a sudden I have stopped and even gained weight. I am following the diet properly and walking everyday so I don’t understand. I feel defeated and like something is wrong. Advice please?

I am only a few days post op but I am having trouble with the liquid diet. I seem to still want to eat more and I really want to eat solid food/chew or crunch on something. I don’t want to move to the next phase too fast but also don’t know how long I can do liquids only for. Any advice?

I had the surgery only three days ago but I’m very disappointed to see that I have gained weight since. I’m nervous that this will never go away and it will continue. Advice please?
