Hey everyone!!

My name is Sarah, I'm 20, and I was sleeved 11 days ago on the 26th of August. I'm really happy that I was able to do this young. My support group at the hospital is all people who are like 50 plus. Which doesn't really bother me, but it is very hard to relate to someone who has 30+ years on you, regardless of the experience you share. I am happy to know I'm not the only one who had this done in my 20's!!!

I was just wondering, since we are younger, and for those of you who are further out, how bad is the extra skin once you've lost most or all of your weight? That is one of my biggest fears after weight loss, is having a ton of extra skin.

Well let me know!!

Thanks!!

Sarah

Hi Sarah, I'm Veronica and 25. How is your recovery? Did you find out anything about the saggy skin? I'm curious, I have my surgery on the 21st of september.

Hi Sarah and Veronica! I'm 24 will be sleeved a week from today! I'm curious about the skin too, back when I was 17 or 18 looking into the surgery the doc had said since i was so young the skin should shrink up and there would not be a lot of sagging "elasticity" was the word he used, but it's been years! Hopefully we're still qualified as "young" lol

Hey girls!

I'm so glad to have found this thread. This is one of my biggest concerns with getting the sleeve done. How are ya'll progressing with your weight loss and your surgeries? Any problems/regrets? Any experiences with excess skin? I'm just trying to get responses from girls in their early 20s getting this done because I think we have a whole different set of concerns than a lot of the older people who have this done.

Girl, 56 pounds in 92 days is almost a pound every other day. That's incredible! I can't wait till it's me. :) Less than a month out now! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
