Should I get comfy with the 20 something sleevers or the 30 somethings?



Recommended Posts

I am 28, will be 29 two months after I am sleeved. Should I just move ahead and join the 30+ ladies? For reference, I am married with 2 kids so I may not "fit" with the 20 somethings. Just wondering you thoughts :)

You join where u feel most comfortable. I am sure either group would be glad and lucky to have you! Don't discount the 20 year olds I am sure you aren't the only one in that category with children.

Oh, no no, I wasn't saying I AM the only one, I didn't know so I figured I would mention it. Most 20 somethings in my area don't have kids and I tend to fit in more with the older group. That was my only point. I didn't know if any of the 20+ crowd had kids and I didn't want to weigh anyone down as the only one with kids if that was the case. Honestly I don't really know why I mentioned it now that I think about it.... its not like having them will affect me much where this board is concerned. Ack! I need to go to bed lol but I can't sleep.

I just turned 29 and my surgery is scheduled for September 30th. I also have a daughter who is 6. So you aren't the only one in an odd transitional stage! As a single mom I have odd feelings to about where I do and don't fit in! Honestly, when it comes to the surgery check out all of the forums! I haven't really checked out the 20's or 30's where I didn't "fit in." All the forums seem very insightful! Best of luck on your VSG journey!

I am 28 with one child. I usually check out both forums but I feel most comfortable in the 20's because I fear the 30's LOL.

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

      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! 😞
