My weight is finally under 300 pounds for the first time in months and I've never been happier and more proud of myself! Now to focus on getting into the 100s ?

my surgery went very smoothly. lots of gas pain but walking helps a lot! getting water and protein shakes to finally stay in my stomach.

My gastric sleeve is tomorrow at 6 am! I'm starting to feel nervous. Are there any last tips I should know?

Me too!!!! Two weeks to go
-
Hi everyone! This is my first post, so please be kind ? I'm currently 18 years old and my surgery date is set for March 26th, 2024. Only two more weeks to go! Both of my parents have had weight loss surgery, and the main difference between the program they went through and the one I'm going through at my children's hospital is how long it took. I had to complete a six-month program which started in July, plus other miscellaneous appointments. I'm just curious if anyone here had their surgery in their teenage years or as an early adult. How was adjusting to the new diet while also being in school? Is loose skin more or less common in younger patients? Please comment if you have any answers, tips, or words of encouragement. I look forward to hearing from the people! Lol
