Hey guys I'm 17 and I'm going to do my surgery soon, although big problem I still get caught between the band and sleeve and don't no what to I've done so much researchhh it's not funny I bet I'd ace an exam on WLS and still can't make up my mind they both have risks and success!

Point is just wondering what made youse choose the sleeve and not band at a young age?

And do youse take any Vitamins as I've heard you need to take many to fall pregnant in future.?? Aniwaiz let me know thanxx. Xx

I was going to get the band, but you have to go to get it filled or unfolded every month for a year, and I am in college

So it would e a hassle so my surgeon said the sleeve would be better for me

I finally joined this website again cause I saw there are some girls around my age, FINALLY :) lol

I had my VSG on June 11, 2010 by Dr. Alvarez. I have lost 200 pounds and let me say it feels AMAZING!

I had just turned 18 a month prior to having my surgery, and a lot of people called me crazy. Now they tell me that it's the best thing I could have done for myself and I agree.

I would love to chat with you ladies, feel free to contact me. Any questions, concerns, or if you just wanna chat let me know :)

Congratulations plehrer, I had mine on may 24th, so I'm 5 days out and I'm almost 7lb down. But the liquid diet is a pain. But in the end it will all be worth it. I wish you all the luck..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
