Im turned 23 in May and I am getting sleeved July 12th 2010. Just in time for my 5 year class reunion. (don't know if I want to go yet or not)

@mellifrits: I turn 21 in October (so kinda a long way off lol) and I think that if you feel comfortable going to your reunion you should go, but if not, then don't! You shouldn't have to subject yourself to anything you might find uncomfortable before you're ready! But on the other hand, you may want to go because this may be a good jumping off point to getting out of your comfort zone. lol I think things through too much, and when my reunion comes around, I'll be in the exact same spot as you are right now.

BeenThereWasThat, I hope your surgery went well yesterday.

I'm having surgery in the next few weeks and I am sooo excited that I will be thinner while still in my twenties (27). I have NEVER been in a normal weight category at any age so it will be exciting to try to get close. I think I've been overweight since I was 8 so being that it's nearly 2 decades later...now is as good as time as ever right?!

25 and getting sleeved in a little over a month. Hoping to be "overweight" before I turn 26 at the end of the year....

I think my mine worry is I get my super sleeve July 12th and my 5 year reunion is July 17th. I was hoping to lose a bit more weight before going BUT we will just see how I am feeling. I am not even sure I will feel well enough to go to the reunion that close to getting my super sleeve.

Sorry I didn't update everyone my surgery got moved to July 13th...

I had my endoscopy on Monday and started my pre-op liquid diet. I am having a really tough time with it.

We are ALMOST sleeve sisters.. I am getting mine the 12th in Mexico. How is your pre-op diet going now? I have to be on mine 7 days so I HAVE to start mine tomorrow. I tried to start today BUT got my last cheat out I am hoping so that tomorrow I can make myself be 100%. I am just ready to have the sleeve already lol.. I cant believe it is only a week away. It seems like time went by so fast getting here but now time seems to just stand still as I wait for my big day.

I am 26! Don't feel alone! I think that the Lap Band ads all over facebook is one of the reasons that so many people our age are going that route! If they only did some research first!
